I don't really see that in the words but in any case I'm not responsible for the beliefs of the author. He says the source is IES Edwards also for whom I'm not responsible for beliefs.

This isn't about what I believe.

Ultimately the question isn't what anyone today believes but rather what did the builders mean by "mr" and how the term originated.

I believe the Pyramid Texts are very clear about the pyramid being steps, stairs, and a place (instrument) for the king to ascend and become the pyramid itself that he might live forever. Everyone has a different take on it and it's hardly impossible we're all wrong.
