What was the function of the Egyptian pyramids?

I wrote an article on this subject. You can find it here.

They would keep your water cool when it was hot out.

A little overkill, but hey it was like really hot out.

And you already posted a thread about it.

Actually, the Egyptians had beer.

The Egyptian goddess of beer was Tenenit (closely associated Meskhenet, goddess of childbirth and protector of the birthing house) whose name derives from tenemu, one of the Egyptian words for beer. The most popular beer in Egypt was Heqet (or Hecht) which was a honey-flavored brew and their word for beer in general was zytum. The workers at the Giza plateau received beer rations three times a day and beer was often used throughout Egypt as compensation for labor.

The pyramids were built on beer power.

You may be onto something!

I was kinda digging on the build-up of the opening gamut. I've yet to read a soliloquy such as that...

The Sumerians had beer.

Hail Ninkasi!

Which may explain the shape of their ziggurat...

You could have just stumbled on the answer to the secret of ancient pyramidal buildings.

Beer coolers!



ETA... this also could possibly explain the irrational urge some people have of making empty beer can pyramids.

Ancestral memory....

That just blew my mind.

It baffles my mind how the ancients had beer when you look at the complicated process of making it today.
I wonder if they discovered how to make it by accident?

No.

Aliens gave them the recipe.

No.

Aliens gave them the recipe.

Then perhaps they also taught them how to keep it cool...

And then occasionally checked back for some of the local beer.

Maybe they did the same on other planets... seeding micro-breweries in the galaxy for when they did a road trip.

So possibly we are all here on earth... to tend bar occasionally.

A perfect ancient aliens theory... I love it!



It actually sounds like a good spin for a "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" type book.

Which could also explain why all the UFO's are just flying around aimlessly in our skies now.

They are going... "What the hell happened to the beer stations?"

"We go away for a few thousand years and WTF happened?"

Then they make contact, an alien snags a PBR out of a fridge somewhere....

Gets back in the craft, pops the top and takes a long drink, spews it out all over the console...

Craft spins out of control, crashing near Roswell...

And now the mother ships are en route to raze the planet and start over...

I find it plausible and quite interesting. Which makes me wonder about the Sphinx erosion patterns ? The Time they occurred.

Do you expect me, or anybody to read all that?

Interesting. Expectations are always strange that people have.

But why not say in a few sentences what you think the function of the pyramids were? It would be much more expedient, and maybe it would actually interest some people enough to read all that.

a reply to: kborissov

Could you expand on the major points of your article here? Then we know whether we are interested in clicking.

Cargo cult phenomena.

They saw them.

a reply to: Phage

The Sumerians also used a base 60 number system, since it made fractions easier and less likely.

IMO
the great pyramid, the first and finest, had no function other than to keep standing

it's purpose is to endure over the Ages...

there are some who speculate the Pyramid was built to symbolize the location of the Eastern Gate out of the Garden of Eden where an Angel with a Flaming Sword is stationed to forever block re-Entry into Eden by anyone

It was a necessity, since drinking water would kill you.

With all that beer, people had to pee somewhere...
