In countless encyclopedias and history books it is stated that the pyramids are tombs of pharaohs. The Great Pyramid was claimed to be the tomb of Khufu or Cheops. Is it possible that the historical record is false, and that it was built for a different reason?
There is extensive proof that the pyramids were not tombs at all. In fact throughout all Egypt, in over 100 pyramids, there has never been found even one mummy in a pyramid. How is it that they have been called tombs when there are no corpses?
What is very strange is that constructed just outside the pyramid was a burial chamber called a mustaba. But for what purpose? If the pyramid was built as a repository for the pharaoh’s mummy why a second tomb outside the pyramid?
Pyramid building in Egypt was the most prominent of all activities of the ancient Egyptians. But no where on any wall paintings is any record of this most prolific aspect of Egyptian life. This is no explanation for this remarkable omission.
Enormous gaps open when trying to answer the riddle to these matters. Nevertheless, Egyptian historians cannot answer these perplexing anomalies. Yet it is these perplexities that can lead to unwrapping the mysteries of the pyramids.
The only remaining clues that provide insight for why the pyramids were built resides in the dress code of the Egyptian priests. There we can see that the priest wore a strange skirt. When carefully examined it can be seen that the dress shows an out cropping in the shape of a pyramid.
As we consider this strange appearance in the dress of the priests it seems that pyramid building was a sacred event to the ancients. It was a monumental undertaking in that far off time. Pyramid building was sacred to the ancient Egyptians.
Thus, it was forbidden to keep records on wall painting and even in hieroglyphics. The sacrament of pyramid building was the focal point of that colorful civilization. Pyramid building called to mind and memorialized an remarkable event in that ancient age.
