This is a French researcher internet discussion Forum and this is cross-posted for the purposes of enlightening English researchers about French discussions and ideas to help illuminate their research.
Mr. Espalion, speaking of the labyrinth, you are quite right to evoke the cyclical side, death and rebirth. Moreover, the involvement of the sun is not without importance, on the contrary.
You mention the word "whim", a word that we will find elsewhere in LVLC, when Boudet mentions the "capricious meanders" of rivers (page 54). This use of the word "whim" is particularly revealing. Here is an excerpt from my book on this subject:
Boudet cites Pliny's belief, saying that the Egyptian labyrinth could be a "monument dedicated to the sun". He speaks of a "capricious" construction in which we get lost before finding the way out. However, Boudet will speak elsewhere of "capricious meanders", in reference to the routes described by streams. The often tortuous routes of the rivers are reminiscent of the routes followed by Abram, Agar, and the Celts, who all "wanderer here and there". In the case of the Celts, the route in question is clearly identified as a river, the Danube. That of Agar is the "way of the desert", without further clarification. However, when we wander here and there, we are by definition in wandering, error, and we suspect that error, misay, meander, whim, are for Boudet deviations from a straight, direct - and fair.
These gaps being often associated with the serpentine courses of the rivers, we ask ourselves the question: wouldn't the Egyptian labyrinth of Mesraïm be to be considered, in the eyes of Boudet, as the valley of a long and capricious river, such as the Nile, wandering here and there through the desert?
(you will find a link to the website dedicated to my book in my profile)
The Egyptian labyrinth of Boudet therefore becomes a reference to the serpentine shape of a long valley, such as that of the Nile. The "embarrassments" are only obstacles (reliefs) along the river, thus imposing this winding route, "eguaring" the river from the right path. Each obstacle represents a stage during this "initiatory" journey, a bit like the crosses in a way of the cross.
Such embarrassments or obstacles are found in Rennes-les-Bains (Foucilhe or embarrassed hill) and in Couiza, where the "sands heaped up by the Sals, at its confluence with the Aude, must have been the cause of this particular arrangement (elbow - meander!) of the course of the river".
It is still necessary to understand how the fact that "labyrinth = valley of a river" can be useful in the context of the cromleck. Well, it is enough to replace the Nile with the Sals which, too, "advances in the manner of the snake", to use an expression of Boudet (page 103). This is "the huge Red Serpent... salty and bitter", from the document of the same name!
On this subject, have you ever wondered if the measurements given in centimeters by Boudet had something to do with Edmond's map? So do this: using a piece of string, have fun measuring the length of the Sals. You will be pleasantly surprised by the result!
Merry Christmas to all.

We did not get out of the labyrinth of the "Punic language" of chapter III of the VlC left by Boudet, a chapter easy to understand since our parish priest tells us about the Numidian way leading to the Moors and the treasure.
And for this, we will look for the Breadcrumbs leading to this treasure "of the garden of the Hesperids" in two hidden clues in this chapter: on page 90 "By changing the name of the hero of this story" and in the conclusion "To contain in a single name all his admiration, French is "the great" - aroumi,-roomy (roumi), grand-".
Boudet draws his inspiration from the dictionaries, lexicons, glossaries of his time and his "Grand roomy of the hespérides", he probably extracted it from the work "The history predicted and judged by Nostradamus" of 1860, and it is Nostradamus "the hero of this story" of chapter III.
In the centuries, there are three quatrains relating to the "great Roman" and his tomb:
III/65: When the tomb of the great Roman found, the next day will be elected pontiff of the senate guére it will not be proven poisoned his blood at the coronation of scyphus.
IX/84: King exposed to make the hecatomb after having found his origin of marble and lead the tomb of a great Roman of medusine sign.
LXVI/66: At the foundation of a new sect will be the bones of the great Roman find marble tomb will appear covered earth tremble in April badly buried.
Notice the three keywords of the 3 quatrains: find, Grand Romain, sepulchre.
And a fourth quatrain refers to the "Gaul of the hespérie" that is to say France:
X80: My treasures, temple, hesperic city dwellers in iceluy secretly removed instead the temple open, the famelic ties resume delighted, horrible preye in the middle.

Hi Heron...
Boudet tells us about the Aroumi that he designates as the French necessarily superior to the colonized "metèques"... This nauseating smell that bothers us today was not felt in the same way at the time of the colonies but, in my opinion, the most important thing is the real meaning of this Aroumi...
In 1144, a monk of Arab origin named Maryanos wrote the "liber de compositione alchimiae"... This Maryanos (or Morienus) was called "al rumi" by his compatriots and it meant "the Christian"... Boudet therefore believes that the Frenchman is the Christian par excellence...
We cannot rely on ancient authors with regard to geography... Most had no idea and mixed everything...
The simple example of the legend of the Pyrenees is revealing since Strabo claims that she was the daughter of the king of Bithynia (coastal province of the Black Sea in present-day Turkey, north of Galatia) while he places their palace in the Pyrenees region... Another claimed that the Danube took its source and flowed along these same Pyrenees... Apparently there was confusion between our Pyrenees and another mountain range in Central Europe, or even Asia Minor...
The great roumy therefore has nothing to do with any great Roman and everything to do with a famous Christian...
The "Gaule d'Hesperie" is the Gaul of the sunset, as opposed to the Galatia which is the Gaul of the Levant... Placing the Hesperides garden there is rather risky...
