Your belief is just exactly as irrelevant as any beliefs any of the pyramid builders may or may not have had.

The simple fact is the pyramids are part of an archaeological context which clearly shows they built mastabas with 70 degree sides and then stacked them. In time their space race resulted in smooth sided stacked mastabas. This is the reality. They didn't so much lift stones up the sides of mastabas, they lifted increasingly small mastabas up onto mastabas. You can ignore this fact and go on believing in ramps or believing in ramps but the fact is no means of building these that doesn't account for a cladded stack of mastabas can possibly be correct.

The question isn't whether they used geysers or linear funiculars. The question is how did they lift mastabas but everyone is afraid of the question and no one more than you. Everyone is afraid of the logic and terrified at the answers. They are afraid of testing and afraid the results. They are quite happy that Hawass is afraid to pursue the matter or allow the results to be published. These tests were run in 2015 for free and even the scientists who did it are afraid either of Hawass or the results because they aren't talking either.
