I don’t quite understand how the first part relates to the second. I guess the final line implies that the staff takes offense at Ramesses for thinking that he and Moses are both rational agents? Which would be understandable, given what had happened with Moses at the start.
As for Ramesses, if his plans for immortality involve “the post-scarcity communist utopia [importing] water from the Fountain of Youth”, I’m willing to cut him some slack and say that discarding his brains is not a further error.
Thanks for writing this!

To be fair to our divine comrade, in 1213 BC true communism had never been tried.
