Hello Warwick,

I can see your point but IMhO it all boils down to the answer to my question:
If the pyramid was essential to getting the king’s/pharaoh’s safely into the next World, what happened to the king’s/pharaohs spirit if his pyramid was not complete when he died?
When I say ‘not complete’ I have in mind pyramids such as Djedfre’s at Abu Roash and the ‘Unfinished Pyramid’ at Zawiyet el-Aryan, rather than, say, Khufu’s pyramid with its ‘missing’ top.'

Regards,

MJ
