Why does academia play down the standing stone connection
with Egypt?


Joseph Smith's hypocephalus :

'The place Iwn (pronounced you in) is the On of the Bible.
This is Heliopolis. And it means a standing stone.
Iwnw (pronounced you new) is standing stones in the plural.
Dendera is called Iwnet (pronounced you net), and Esna is called
Iwntee (yoon - tee), and Erment is called Iwne(you knee),
so they all were places of standing stones, megalithic centers.
In the pyramid texts it says what you do when you go there.
You Pesher, which means to circumambulate, go around and
around, the rituals have to do with that.
These were sun stones and though they denote graves,
the kings were also buried under them....

...the hypocephalus itself represents that cosmic energy incarnated
in Atum of Heliopolis in pre-historic times. Though the incarnated
god goes by different names at different shrines, all of them,
are merely accidental forms of the ultimated source. (Nibley, Ibid.)...

Could the hypocephalus be sketched on the same general plan
as the great stone circles littered across Europe? There is a
connection certainly. What they have in common is the cosmic
significance. They establish contact and agreement between
lower and higher beings. A place for this contact out of this world.
 
I see your confusion. This website is about alternate historical scenarios, IE things that could've happened but didn't. Not alternative theories about history that go against the mainstream. Definitely not aliens, you'd have to go to the Alien Space Bat section for that stuff.
 
1) "iwn" (more likely pronounced *yawan) technically means "column" or "pillar". Similar to "standing stone", sure, but a difference that should be noted.

2) A hypocephalus is one of two things: a genus of beetle, or a disc inscribed with chapters of the book of the dead that was placed under the head of the deceased as an amulet. The latter were only used from the Late Period onward, well after the "standing stones" of Europe (which were most likely time-keeping devices of ritual significance) had faded into memory. Before that, the role of the hypocephalus amulet was played by a cow amulet.

3) A better question would be: "What is it about ancient Egypt that attracts an exceptional amount of pseudoscientific quackery?"
