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.

While the debate goes on some have thought that the Great Pyramid was not only not a tomb but it had a far great significance.

During the middle ages mystics and star worshippers convened and had meetings inside the Pyramid believing they gained wisdom just from being on the inside. They would go into the King’s chamber thinking this was the most vital place to contact spiritual realities.

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.

Partly based upon the old idea that the form of the Pyramid represented the diverging rays of the Sun upon the Earth, several writers during the latter part of the 18th century and the early part of the 19th century maintained that the base measurements of the Great Pyramid represented the days in a year.

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.
