Can you please site your sources on these "diaries and palace records" of the building of the pyramids? Otherwise, nobody is going to believe you (especialy myself)
At completion, the Great Pyramid was surfaced by white 'casing stones' – slant-faced, but flat-topped, blocks of highly polished white limestone. These caused the monument to shine brightly in the sun, making it visible from a considerable distance. Visibly all that remains is the underlying step-pyramid core structure seen today, but several of the casing stones can still be found around the base. The casing stones of the Great Pyramid and Khafre's Pyramid (constructed directly beside it) were cut to such optical precision as to be off true plane over their entire surface area by only 0.5 mm. They were fitted together so perfectly that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted between the joints even to this day.
The passages inside the pyramid are all extremely straight and precise, such that the longest of them, referred to as the descending passage, which is 107 m long, deviates from being truly straight by less than 6 mm, while one of the shorter passages with a length of just over 15 m deviates from being truly straight by a mere 0.5 mm.
Aight, I mis-spoke regarding the "no tools" statement. my disbelief of copper tools creating these pyramids is too strong.
These are the tools claimed to have been used in achieving the precision found at this wiki page
....selected quote below....
That is EXTREME precision in a time without iron tools. The "iron age started about 1000 years later.
People believe copper chisels/drills were used to this perfection in even 5 lifetimes? I'm not saying with absolute certainty that it's not possible, but it stretches rational thought like a rubber band holding a brick.
Add into the mix that it's also speculated that the pyramid was made 10,000 years ago which pre-dates the use of copper in tools. Talk about a bag of lit fireworks if that were proven true.
I'll have to dig up what the hieroglyphs said above the King's chamber to revisit that as a new point of interest because from what I remember it didn't make literal sense and resembled the Egyptian knowledge currently known at the time of discovery; which is why speculation persists that the hieroglyphs were "planted" to validate the Khufu claim.
Using the same argument that rituals were "INCREDIBLY" important, it doesn't make sense if that were the case to write anything within the pyramid, even if it were blessing Khufu, because the harmony within the structure would be "off" by using that thought pattern.
Pyramids can affect gold and perhaps other metals.
Pyramids induct energies or aether.
also read the pyramids were once ordained by white marble which was dismantled and used in the building of much of Cairo and other cities. The tops were said to be inlaid by gold.

So your claiming to understand how the pyramids were built? Your claiming to understand how they brought these rocks all the way to the top of a 4 story pile? Your claiming that 100's of 1,000's of slaves and workers all were so precise in their labors that they made this monstrous formation absolutely symmetrical and perfectly aligned with the stars without making a single mistake? What contributes to that sort of synchronization?

Is it easier or just more reasonable? Why would they not put this effort towards something that would benefit society, rather than just a big pile of stones? Was their king really worth it to them, or was there a higher purpose?
