re: Why do people think Pyramids in Egypt are burial tombs

It’s really the most ridiculous theory ever. There is literally no fricking credible evidence at all that these were burial tombs for Pharaohs. We don’t really know who built them, when they were actually built, how they were built or what they were used for.

But it’s as more likely that they were literally anything than burial chambers, as not one single piece of evidence inside the pyramids supports this.

This really needs to stripped from textbooks

You're right. Aside from hieroglyphics in the pyramids depicting the buildings, ruins that back up the claims hieroglyphics that indicate a large number of people were needed to build them, parchments in the tombs indicating they built them, paintings and parchments indicating they were built to house bodies of leaders, sarcophagi in many of them holding not only those leaders but other things they thought those leaders would need in the afterlife (servants, horses, chariots, etc) being in there as well, there is absolutely no proof at all of who built them, how and why they were built.
