Palaeontology? Ummmm.

I think most abandoned dwellings resulted from lack of water. Maybe the land mass rose and the water went elsewhere.

He even admitted he made up a lot of it due to pressure from publishers iirc.

It comes from the greek word pyramis meaning 'wheat cake' because they reminded them of pointy topped wheat cakes.

In Egyptian the pyramids are 'Mr' or 'Mer'

And Obelisk is called as such because it means skewer in Greek.

According to the site etymology online, the word "amid" has its origins in 14th century English. Not exactly renowned for its expertise in Egyptology (until the Rosetta stone was discovered, the best accessible written evidence was Herodotus, which is... terrible evidence).

Looking at the etymology of the word "pyramid" on the same site, it's unclear to me whether the origin of "pyr" derives from "pur" in Greek, "pir" in Latin or English/Germanic predecessors, or something else. Even assuming it's just "pur", we'd need to figure out what word in Greek it'd refer to, which isn't straightforward.

Further, etymology is often a poor guide to historical meaning, particularly when combined with modern meaning. See for example, martyr (ancient Greek, witness) or sycophant (literal meaning possibly something like revealer of figs, possibly to do with legal reforms in late archaic Athens by the semi mythical lawmaker Solon. In classical Athens, the word means vexatious litigant. Which is not what it means today)

I have a very funny story about how etymology fucked up historians with a crazy idea for ages - and archaeology saved the day
