This isn't really off topic but I intend to try to limit my posts as much as possible.
The Pyramid Texts repeatedly says the pyramid is not a tomb and is the dead king. By this they meant that the pyramid served to remind people of the dead king. The pyramid was a mnemonic in our language. It had sundry other functions as well but were generally much less important. People need to remember these were very easy to build with linear funiculars so they didn't need infrastructural or religious reason to construct them. There was no religion. There were minor infrastructural reasons but even in aggregate they might not have sufficed to do the little work of construction.

Use this string site:sacred-texts.com utterance companions voyage - Google Search (site:sacred-texts.com utterance) with words like grave, tomb, etc to see what they really said.
This site that you linked me to is a gold mine! I am gonna check them out.
This can be seen all over the world but what can't be seen is that all of these sites are associated with water.
Never heard this before.
Just like people raise their voice speaking English to a Frenchmen, we think that if we strive hard enough to put a foreign culture into our own perspective it will be clear. But we must change our position and assumptions to see a different perspective and most people have no clue how to do this. They receive the Laws of Nature from on High and can't think of a good reason to understand ancient Egyptians anyway. Who cares what a bunch of tomb dragging, ramp using, ignorant savages thought anyway?
We have been done a great disservice by scientismists who have even resorted to suppressing data that don't agree with their assumptions.
I think that even in this age, we cannot understand people from foreign cultures regarding their world view and this is especially true when trying to understand what they mean in their language by translating it. We have to change our assumptions. We have to be able to temporarily relinquish our worldview when engaging with others so that we can get closer to understanding what they mean. Otherwise our minds will be closed.
Reading different religious texts and studying other religions has taught me this. They open my mind and help me understand others.
An example is when people become anti religion in the western world. Their arguments and antagonisms are towards the monotheistic religions. Some of them then apply their critique of the western religions to the eastern and southern. But on closer inspection that critique falls flat because they are judging by a strawman metric.
