"I believe it's hubris and misinterpretation that makes mention of the pyramids in ancient writing scarce. It seems to exist in several places really. "
The explanation is simple really. One of Egypt's greatest assets was it's isolation. It was a self-contained civilisation. ESPECIALLY SO during the Old Kingdom.

Maybe he's trying to come up with a title that hasn't already been Used.
There's only so many 3 word phrases in the English language that incorporate the word Pyramid, after all.

"The oldest to qualify as a "structure" made of stone is the the 2nd Dynasty tomb of Khasekhemwy which has a limestone floor and walls: "
thank you for clearly making the distinction re 'structure'
His (Khasekhemwy's) is also the oldest decorated stone Lintel, found in Heliopolis (off the top of my head).

apparently he has some experience in advertising as well, due to the fact that the excerpt above allows for an authority of as little as one while implying general agreement.

I'd attach the Role of the King in their beliefs to the Political. Frankly I don't see how one can separate the two.

Unfortunately kborissov only wishes us to salute his notions, and has no interest in debate.
Like oh so many of those who being their 'alternate notions' here to be weighed, he obviously assumes that none of us have ever asked the same questions of ourselves/each other/academia.
