Khufu was in my opinion a complete nut. Which might explain all the nonsensical additions to the interior of the GP. It also just might explain G1-d. So what was buried at G1-d? What would be the most off the wall thing to make a pyramid for? A pet or favored dwarf perhaps? Who knows.

In the Wiki description for the purpose it states: "The purpose of the pyramid is under debate by scholars. Some possible explanations are that it is for the king's Ka, or it represents the king as the ruler of Upper Egypt, or it is for the viscera of the King, or it is a dummy room for the Sed festival, or it has a solar function. Zahi Hawass, who led the uncovering of the pyramid, believed that the satellite pyramid was used symbolically as a changing room for the Sed festival".

Based on the discussion here what should be added or changed?
