The pyramids i believe were built more than just burial tombs but hey thats my opinion, especially as now we are just popped in a hole and buried. Why did we stop building pyramids anyway?
No evidence of human remains have ever been found in Egypt's great pyramids. They were not burial tombs.

Well, the ancient Egyptian records refer to them as burial tombs (see this site for details on the papyri that talk about them as sepulchurs) -- and they have find pieces of mummies in them. I know that a lot of the alternative theory sites neglect to mention these writings and the pieces (and caskets, too) --and neglect to mention that the pyramids are NOT free standing structures but instead are part of a whole complex (with walls around them) that are of a specific design (with temples and so forth.)

Then everyone found out about it because, like, it was a cool way to stack rocks!edit on 30/12/2011 by chr0naut because: (no reason given)
That is funny - But of course not serious as there is far more to pyramids then just that. Pi is incoperated into its design as is the speed of light and other mathmatical and astronomical dimensions - Unless they thought that was cool also.edit on 30-12-2011 by artistpoet because: spellink mistake

I am well aware that has nothing to do with the topic but i put it up here for all.
The Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese: Catedral Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro or Catedral de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro), is the seat of the archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is dedicated to Saint Sebastian, the patron saint of Rio de Janeiro. The current church was built between 1964 and 1979 and replaced a series of old churches that had served as cathedrals since 1676. It is located in the center of the city. Conical in form and with a 96 metres (315 ft) internal diameter and an overall height of 75 metres (246 ft), it has a standing-room capacity of 20,000 people. The cathedral's four rectilinear stained glass windows soar 64 metres (210 ft) from floor to ceiling.

Limestone? Does limestone have any specific relevance or qualities that would justify the use of it on pyramids, whether it was used for scientific reasons or simply as a form of weather proofing?
