Pyramids have always seemed so incredibly useless. Other than as docking points for large Goa'uld ships. That seemed to make a MASSIVE amount of sense to me for some reason.

haha nice SG-1 reference......We will one day find out the true nature of them.......It may not be in this lifetime though.....kinds sucks.

It isn't only the GP that is without interior artwork, hieroglyphs etc. AFAIK...Of the hundred or so pyramids, none are decorated.

What about Teti's pyramid in Saqarra? I was there recently and it was beautifully decorated inside and out.

I know the conspiracy theories behind the "pyramids" ( Did you know that there are hundreds!) but the one thing that excited me the most whilst I spent two weeks crawling around Egypt recently was realizing that people, men, women did this!

Might I suggest that the pyramid has been robbed for centuries and could the treasure and decorations have been so grand that the grave robbers could not resist. Could the walls have been possibly covered in gold motifs? Are there chisel marks to support this?

Actually, yes, there is some slight evidence to suggest that the walls were covered in plaster which has since disintegrated. Someone on another board thought that he'd found traces of older illustrations on the walls themselves, but this turned out to be a case of pareidolia.

Hello! I am reading Zecharia Sitchin's Journey's to the mythical past.
The book is really good and entertaining. He covers the Great Pyramid. He says it is 10,000 years old built by someone else, not Kufu.
I am in the middle of the book, so I don't know what his end theory is yet.
I wrote a school paper back in 1978 when I was 12 or so, I have always been some what drawn to the pyramid and it's theories on a curiosity level.
I just seems very odd, a loud statement of something? My brother an Electrical Engineer thinks its a water pump used to irrigate the area, or even a large battery based on the types of rocks used inside that would create electrical charges if sea water were used to fill it up. Et needs to phone home? The shiney rocks on the outside would have been visible from outerspace. Stichin says the rocks were destroyed in a pyramid war when gods not men ruled Egypt. It's too bad they can't
repair the pyramid to its orginal state. I personally would like too see what happens when it's flooded with sea water. None the less all these theories create tourist dollars for Egypt, who surely appreciates the money. It is a facinating subject to ponder. I wish the oops and forbibben archeology finds and ideas where surfaced for world debate... surley we are now all intellectual enough to handle the truth with out having panic attacks? History books probalby should be changed and rewritten annually.
We probably really don't know the truth yet of why and how.
