Not at all. I simply do not understand why some people keep on saying that all AE pyramids answer the same conceptual framework (related to religion, culture). Impressive galleries like those of Khufu's were never repeated, nor preceeded in other pyramids. The interior of all other AE pyramids actually dwindle compared to that of Khufu's. The same framework ?
Can you already answer my question to what kind of magical text the design of the tomb is comparable to ?

I said that the interior was not pre-planned IN DETAIL. I did not say there was no planning at all ;
'..., imo, these chambers were not planned in advance, but DESIGNED at and built from the very moment that the new situation (the survival of Khufu) occured. ... '
