Many have held to the belief, over the centuries, that the purpose of the Great Pyramid was not as a tomb but that it’s real purpose was something. But the real purpose was not discovered until the end of the 1800’s.

The greater majority of those doubters ( that the pyramid was a tomb) felt that it was something more; something far greater.

As far back as Kircher in 1666 it was expressed that the Great Pyramid had secret mystic significance and as a result mystics would journey to the very Kings chamber to make incantations thinking somehow they could contact the neither world. Star worshippers also made attendance thinking they would gain wisdoms.

In 1774 Paul Lucas suggested that the Great Pyramid was built so as to serve as a sundial able to track the movements of the moon and the time of the solstices. Even earlier Carari and De Chazelles declared that the Great Pyramid was built for astronomical purposes.

While writers in the 19th century had more science going for them in that they believed that the base measurments of the Great Pyramid represented the days in a year, their ideas came from an older idea that the form of the pyramid represented the diverging rays of the sun upon the earth.

A great conundrum was created in 1840, when eminent Egyptologist Sir Garder Wilkinson threw doubt on the tomb theory so far as the Great Pyramid was concerned and further suggested that perhaps the Great Pyramid wasn’t even built by the Egyptians.
