[edit] The Un-educated vs. the Educated
I still think that "the masses were uneducated"' may be a little bit of 'phooey'. Certainly, some of the Common Folk knew what they were seeing on these ostraca, even if the ostracon was only shown to his buddy ! (Any (common) person would probably have understood the 'Statement' !)
Certainly this was a type of speaking ones mind, (and showing their talents, and creativeness). Thank goodness. Michael McAnnis, YumaAZ [I added these two notes in 1 October 2005](didn't sign)- -Mmcannis 03:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Dream Ostraca
Were the "Dream Ostraca" ( of Hor of Seben nytos), only his notes, or were they also shown to the Pilgrims? Were many of them given (or Sold?) to the actual Pilgrims? Does this pilgrim-age stuff also mean things about what Humans are up to on this planet ? I often wonder, at it all.
