There were no paintings on the walls, no hieroglyphs telling stories of the pharaoh's life, and no treasures the Pharaoh could take to his afterlife as was found in every other pyramid. Ive been to a lot of tombs. More than the average. I know what they are like. Inside of the pyramid does not look like a tomb.

Some commentators have argued that the pyramid was built so massive to reflect the greatness of the king or even to satisfy the king’s ego. This is somewhat improbable given that not a single official inscription bearing the king’s name has ever been found inside any of the early, giant pyramids—not one. Oh, and there is like no statues of khufu at all. There is like 1 that I know of. Its 3 inches tall. Are you serious? And also, why would the ancient Egyptians suddenly abandon an ancient tomb-building tradition of rectangular superstructures (i.e. mastabas) for their kings and queens in favour of square superstructures (i.e. pyramids) and why would they continue building mastaba tombs during the pyramid-building age and long afterwards? Makes no sense.

Why don't you explain to me how the pyramids were built by the ancient egyptians then? Why are there so many complex rooms inside the pyramid?
yeah, we can have our completely differences and opinions about this topic, but it doesnt mean we cant dispute nicely about it.
how on earth do you know if its not possible or not? Have you even been to Egypt?

I tend to ignore the Khafre Pyramid because I have no idea what that was used for......but I shouldnt. It's seriously the biggest mystery of all time. Saying that they were tombs is such a simple answer but there are too many intricacies inside of them. Too many!

Yeah, intricacies like tomb layouts, sarcophagi, Mortuary temples, etc.

NVM about the monoatomic gold.
I've been to plenty of tombs in Egypt. I know what an ancient egyptian tomb looks like. The pyramids of giza do NOT look like tombs. The reason I "gravitate towards this silly nonsense instead of picking up real published journals, investigations, real discoveries from legit academia" is because as you apparently don't know, our leaders like to lie to us. Plenty of times throughout history. You probably get all of your facts from history books. Why? Cause it's easy. It's easy to say these pyramids were merely just tombs. They do the research, you read it and believe it. They don't bother at all to look for new shafts in the Pyramid. I have no clue why. That.....is a sign to me that they prolong it as much as possible. Especially when there is an undiscovered room behind one of the shafts....and nothing is being done about it.
You probably didnt even read all of my original post anyway and went right to "attack" the "ignorant" because you think you're so right. Hey buddy, you may be right or you may be wrong. Don't assume that you know everything about the ancient Egypt. There is PLENTY of evidence on why the pyramids were not tombs.
