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?
In fact built just outside the pyramids were structures built, called mustabas, specifically for the
mummy of the pharaoh. But if the pharaoh was to buried inside the pyramid why the need for a second
tomb. Why the need for two tombs?
What further complicates the story is that nowhere to be found in all Egypt are any records of
pyramid building. The Egyptians kept copious records of their daily lives on wall paintings. But
there are no wall paintings anywhere to found on pyramid building.
These missing pieces of the puzzle defy human explanation. Nevertheless, questions seeking answers
are never raised. Yet, ironically these two matters most certainly hold clues to deep mysteries as
to who and why the pyramids were built.
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.
There is no doubt that pyramid building was an all consuming facet of the Egyptian culture. It was a
sacred event that took the resources of the entire country. And all subsequent pyramids that
followed for hundreds of years was the continuation of that sacrament.
So it can be seen in this light, that it would have been an aversion to the pharaohs to be buried
inside the pyramid. Hence the need to be buried outside in the mustaba. And keeping records of
pyramid building on wall paintings were forbidden.
