      Honestly, why would they make three precise giant buildings for a tomb? It probably had a purpose that is unknown to us. Read Giza Power Plant for more info on the idea, it is very compelling. Video on the book

        Same reason we would spend a stupid amount of money on the St. Louis Arch, Statue of Liberty, or Palace of Versaille, or any work of art? To create a lasting symbol of something and to symbolize status.

        I’m sure you found that book very compelling, but any electrical engineer or historian with an understanding of that period’s technology could rip it apart.
