No surprise at all. Pygmies retain the stories without much changes, compared to everybody else.
Ituri forest = Eden/eDeN = flooded Congo basin?(cf Dr. Winters)

My Malay buddy Kudini always called me Dahudi ("Howdy Dahudi!"), we were both Forestry students, so I guess it was appropriate.

Very interesting ideas and link. Thank you.
Pygmys and the Tree of Life feature in the PT. I believe the Tree of Life was the sycamore fig.

Isnt it the tree of knowledge?
Thought and Thoth arent as related as I thought. Tahu and Thoth however are related. Tahuti and Djehuty are the same diety.

1216d. They give to N. the tree of life whereof they live,
I believe this is a reasonably good translation here. I believe there was actually an orchard of these trees at the pyramid site protected by sopdu and known as thje ksb.t-trees.
480d. in this thy name of Dwȝ.m, as Sopdu, (who lives) under his kśb.t-trees.
This is a unique interpretation derived from solving the words in context rather than comparing them to later writings as is typically done.

I don't know.
But when the meanings of the words in the PT are solved by context "thot" is "human progress" and "thought" is a modern synonym; as in "current thought is that light behaves as a particle and a wave".

"The anthropomorphized pillar stands at the middle left, in a shrine. It has taken the shape of a human body with the djed-pillar as its head;" wiki
djed pillar - ox vertebral column/brainstem/spine ~ tree of life column? related to ankh cross
"The djed symbol is one of the more ancient and commonly found symbols in Egyptian mythology. It is a pillar-like symbol in hieroglyphics representing stability. It is associated with the Creator god Ptah and Osiris, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, the underworld, and the dead. It is commonly understood to represent his spine" wiki
Parallels in other cultures[edit]
Parallels have also been drawn between the djed pillar and various items in other cultures. Sidney Smith in 1922, first suggested a parallel with the Assyrian "sacred tree" when he drew attention to the presence of the upper four bands of the djed pillar and the bands that are present in the center of the vertical portion of the tree. He also proposed a common origin between Osiris and the Assyrian god Assur with whom he said, the sacred tree might be associated. Cohen and Kangas suggest that the tree is probably associated with the Sumerian god of male fertility, Enki and that for both Osiris and Enki, an erect pole or polelike symbol stands beneath a celestial symbol. They also point out that the Assyrian king is depicted in proximity to the sacred tree, which is similar to the depiction of the pharaoh in the raising of the djed ceremony. Additionally, the sacred tree and the Assyrian winged disk, which are generally depicted separately, are combined in certain designs, similar to the djed pillar which is sometimes surmounted with a solar disk.[11] Katherine Harper and Robert Brown also discuss a possible strong link between the djed column and the concept of kundalini in yoga.[12] wiki
