Easy to say but you can't link to what was provided nor to where it was provided. If the builders had ever once said it was a tomb there would be no dispute. The dispute is caused by the lack of evidence they were tombs and that many people don't agree with the assumptions that led to the belief they are tombs. There is no empirical evidence nor writing that says these are tombs. Instead we have circumstantial evidence. It's interesting to note that the belief the four jars found with bodies in this era was one of the best pieces of circumstantial evidence but mow even professionals are starting to doubt this.
Rather than force me to make the weak argument they are tombs why don't you try it right here right now. That's the subject of this very thread.

I've done this many times and each time it is ignored though it is rarely simply denied or gainsaid.

They take N. to heaven, to heaven-on the smoke of incense.

376c. Thy fragrance comes to N., O Incense; the fragrance of N. comes to thee, O Incense.
377a. Your fragrance comes to N., O ye gods; the fragrance of N. comes to you, O ye gods.
377b. May N. be with you, O ye gods; may you be with N., O ye gods.
377c. May N. live with you, O ye gods; may you live with N., O ye gods.
They could hardly have been more explicit.

They said over and over the pyramid was the king himself and his tomb was in heaven but people parse the words until it agrees with the "book of the dead".
