They didn't build them for God or as an extension of Pharaonic egotism. They built them to illustrate how the cosmos, universe, and Earth interact while at the same time teaching the philosophy of life.
We are so silly to think we have advanced ... I'm sure the ancients would have a good chuckle at this notion!
Can anyone tell me where thes boats were found.. Like what chamber and where?

My question always comes back to the "How". Remember, they supposedly didn't have the Pulley during this period. So how did they move and place with such precision?
We are told they did not use Iron and or diamonds to cut and or later carve the stones with etc. [Iron would rust away unlike alloys and Diamonds were worth some value and could simply have been stolen or looted]
But until we find a hidden chamber of records or knowledge on how they accomplished many of their feats we will just have to muddle through with what we already know coupled with conjecture and speculation based on known techniques

If so, did they have help from another culture at the time? A different caste of Egyptians?
And are we looking at a decline after that time due to...?

Well there is an interesting opinion. I have no doubt the Great Pyramids are greater than just "Tombs" what I am saying is that we could build them if we set our minds and resources to it. A few small examples which have attempted a reconstruction were under funded and were simply trying to replicate how they thought the ancients did it.
If in the Modern world we devoted our technology and know how on that scale it is possible is all I'm saying.
The Pyramid of Cheops uses more stone than all the churches of England built since the time of Christ; the pyramid complex at Zoser is the largest single-purpose monument built by man.

Sure we can. But there's no need to build primitive stone structures, we now have the technology to build far superior structures. Today we can build structures that are bigger and have highly advanced communication, electrical, plumbing, heating/ air conditioning and transportation systems; and we can do it in a fraction of the time that they took to build one pyramid. Anyone that thinks we don't have the technology to cut and stack stone (regardless of how large the units are) is sorely mistaken
PS- I'm in construction and it always annoys me when people say our modern buildings don't compare to the pyramids. It's like saying a Cadillac CTS-V doesn't compare to the Flintstones-mobile.
