10 Facts that Contradict the Pyramid Tomb Theory - Scott Creighton

It should also be pointed out here that one of the Arab legends tells us that when the
Caliph Al Ma’mun and his men reached the upper chambers of the Great Pyramid all
that was found within the granite container therein was a dark pitch-like substance.
This is precisely what earth and grain (left for thousands of years) would have turned
to—a dark, pitch-like substance.
So, it is a fact that the ancient Egyptians placed earth and seed into stone boxes (of
various sizes) and buried them in the earth, sometimes under a large rock symbolising
their ‘Mound of Creation’. What we have here then is a cultural explanation for the
‘mummyless’ stone boxes found in the pyramids and, as mentioned earlier in this
article, why not a single one of these stone boxes (unlike mastaba sarcophagi of the
period) were inscribed with any names or titles of any ancient Egyptian king where, in
terms of their religious beliefs at this time, such might have been expected. In short—
the stone boxes found within the early, giant pyramids may not have been sarcophagi
at all but rather the archetype of the ‘Osiris Brick’ or later ‘Osiris Bed’.
Conclusion
For the best part of 200 years, mainstream Egyptology has insisted that the early,
giant pyramids of ancient Egypt were conceived and built as the eternal resting place
of the king and his ‘instrument of ascension’ that would carry him up to the heavenly
realm and to the Afterlife. However, given the ten facts outlined in this article, it is
extremely difficult to reconcile the actual facts of these structures with the overly
simplistic and somewhat ‘romantic’ notions of the Egyptologists. There are simply
too many anomalies; too many affronts to common sense; too many facts that simply
do not fit with the tomb paradigm of the Egyptologists. This is not to say that
pyramids could not have been used as tombs at some point in their long history—of
course they could. But it simply does not seem, from the available evidence and facts
presented, that they could ever have been originally conceived and constructed with
such a notion in mind—at least, not at the beginning of the pyramid-building age.
If it is evidence that we must base our theories upon, then the evidence strongly
suggests that these early giant pyramids were not at all funerary in nature but seem to
have been constructed with some other, grander purpose in mind.
