    Honestly, why would they make three precise giant buildings for a tomb? It has a clear purpose that is unknown to us. Read Giza Power Plant for more info on the idea, it is very compelling. Video on the book

      Same reason we would spend a stupid amount of money on the St. Louis Arch, Statue of Liberty, or Palace of Versaille, or any work of art? To create a lasting symbol of something and to symbolize status.

      I’m sure you found that book very compelling, but any electrical engineer or historian with an understanding of that period’s technology could rip it apart.

        Right cause we spent a shitton of time to build the Empire State Building to look at it? No we use that bitch. Now imagine spending 30x that much time and energy and materials, and making it accurate to a ridiculous degree, and then being like “yeah lets do that again lol”. For why? A tomb? I have my fucking doubts.

          Sure you can grab the one example in my argument that was actually functional and not fully symbolic, but my point still stands, humans build seemingly irrational things to grandstand, and the Pharoahs would’ve for sure done the same in their role as dictators.

          I have my fucking doubts.

          And I’m sure so has every serious academic who has studied the pyramids and all came to the conclusion that it was a tomb, and if you read their reasonings for that I’m sure you’d understand why they came to that conclusion.

          Here’s an electrical engineer tearing apart the electrical pyramid conspiracy theory for it’s misunderstanding of basic electronics.

                Ground = granite is sooo missing the point, especially given the whole pyramid is not made of granite. I don’t even want to comment on the whole “need wires” thing when half of the premise of some power plant theories is a gold pyramidion on the top of the pyramid acting as a conductor for ionization of the atmosphere. He is talking in general about “granite” when the properties of the pink granite in the kings chamber are so different than the shit you find on your countertop.

                Edit: also silicon dioxide aka silica was found in between the limestone casing stones, in nano size spheres it seems. Also

                They found that the tiniest structures within the inner and outer casing stones were indeed consistent with a reconstituted limestone. The cement binding the limestone aggregate was either silicon dioxide or silicate … mineral nsf.gov
