history channel documentary 2015 Egyptian Pyramids (Giza, Egypt): These huge developments additionally clearly fill no genuine need. Why assemble a pyramid as a tomb for one, when for the same exertion, you have a catacomb for a large number of Egypt's high class! In any occasion, no smoking weapon bodies (mummies) have been found in the set of three of those awesome Giza pyramids. Tomb thieves after gold, gems and different assets are very reasonable; however of what quality is scratching off with the cadaver? In any occasion some lesser pyramids have had fixed sarcophagi found, unique mortar set up; no bodies! Something is peculiar some place - once more! Maybe the pyramids were truly composed as cenotaphs - remembrances to the dead pharaohs rather than tombs for the dead. Then again maybe the genuine or if nothing else supplementary purpose(s) of the pyramids has yet to have been considered.
