in regards to the great pyramids, isnt it already accepted that they actually buried the pharoahs who built them elsewhere?
i thought the valley of the kings was where most had been buried. of course with such a long history as a civilization threre might have been many places like the valley.
i have always been interested in ancient civilizations but i freely admit that egypt was never high on my list (not sure why).

If they did there burials have never been found, its accepted that the pyramids were the places of burial - which is why the mortuary temples were there

Much later on in AE history starting circa 1550 BC I believe, after seeing that the pyramid's were looted by foreigners and their own people during times of trouble the priest tried a new plan, burying them underneath a pyramid shaped mountain - that in the most part didn't work that well either!

Yep I always found the AE religion off putting, I preferred the lesser civilizations of the bronze age middle east
