There has been more grave robbing at Giza in the past 200 years than there was since the construction of these monuments.
Since many have not been opened since antiquity (some still remain unopened) please explain why...do you think the "robbers" forgot how to break into them? All they had to do was climb down the chimneys to gain entry.
Research and discover for yourself what was being left with the deceased for the afterlife. I think you have perceptions of grandeur, something like Tut's find. Brace yourself for the bad news...it just didn't happen....jugs, jars, dishes and dust.

When and by who?
Do you realize that if archeologists had not offered $$$ for artifacts then most of these tombs would still be intact. Unfortunately the practice continues as I type this message to you.
You mention of religion....this site was off limits to all...you didn't fool around with the dead...it was cursed soil for those who trespassed.

For crying out Ronald...
Please explain what the "symbolic meaning" is...I hope it's a better tale than any I have heard to-date.
I simply don't get it...how the same rhetoric is used repetitively to "squeeze" theories into a conversation.

That's the whole point Ronald...
Why hide the point of entry into two pyramids but not the third?
The small pyramid directs us to where the entrances of the two large pyramids were located...near the base on the north side. Without the third pyramid base design the entrances would have never been discovered.
Ask yourself why they showed us where the entrance to G3 is located?
As for the kings buried within...if they were then I will "guarantee" we will never discover their place of rest.

Let's see...
I read the words "must" and "maybe"
It reads like most "professional" statements of theories relating to the Giza pyramids and kings.
Best.
