"No one benefited from a honking big Pyramid tomb other then the dead King. "

you cannot separate the Pyramid from it's Temples. I fail to see how one can really differentiate between the benefits of having worked on the pyramd and those of wiorking on the estates that were to supply the colt of teh king in perpetuity. Everything about the king in ,life and death, was a source of employment and economic stimulous

there was no struggle

that's why the whole society functioned so well


they all believed in the WHY of what they were doing.

and no you're not oversimplifying as much as you are imposing a different world view onto theirs
