Ancient Egyptians believed a true statement reitereated twice, made it twice as true. If repeated thrice, it was three times as true.

Seems like it should start growing geometrically or something like that. Repeated thrice should be something like 400% true. give or take.

The Egyptians were a Bronze Age society, and contrary to popular misconception, they weren't very sophisticated mathematically.
