it was just some monument for enlightenment?

My Dear Friend,
If you are seriously interested to know what exactly the Pyramids of Egypt are , you have to read the Book ''Secret Egypt'' by Paul Brunton.
You feel like walking every inch in Pyramid (The Great Pyramid) as you go on reading it.
It is a replica of human mind.
It defies even modern engineers about its construction and the cooling system provided inside , in an invisible manner.
It is thought to be a spiritual centre.
The Pyramid hides a lot of secrets still now.None have fully understood the massive Structure which is one of the wonders of Ancient and modern world too.
It was not a place to place the corpses of Royal Heads after death after mummification, though it is used for that also.The sole purpose was not for that.
There is a lot to learn about it shape, its positioning and the way it is constructed without any cementing material between the massive stones weighing tons .
It was not built(or they were not built) for fun sake .
For human enlightenment they were used.And for several other purposes too.
We have yet to understand them.

all evidence indicates that Egyptian religion was centered around ressurrection and preserving the body and possiessions for the next life. The resting place of a pharaoh was paramount to all other concerns, and the building of the tomb was an ongoing project during a pharaoh's reign. gyptians did not build monuments for 'enlightenment.'
There are enough surviving Egyptian writings to confirm all of this.
Grannie Annie neglects the matter of tomb-raiding, which occurred with many burial chambers.

Yeah, and what if it were a parking space?
It was a burial chamber. The Egyptians started making them pyramidal centuries earlier, and the more important the corpse, the bigger the pyramid. Eventually, they became humongous.

And there are those that believe as you stated in addition to being a burial monument it's intent was to inspire...therefore enlighten. PEACE

The pyramids were more than a place to bury the dead.
Look at the mathematics involved.

Funny thing about those three big pyramids. Not one of them had a body. Not one of them had ANY funerary objects of any kind. Not one of them even had wall paintings of any kind. Absolutely plain, unadorned, nada, nothing, nil. Almost as if they never got used as a burial site. Peculiar, huh?

I think its both. The Egyptians were very smart people. So, couldn't the pyrimade stand for their dead pharoh's knowlege, and legacy?

And what if it was really made of cream cheese?
The dead guy in the middle is a bit of a giveaway.

Then the burial chamber makes no sense. So much for enlightenment.
