Name me one single Egyptologist who doesn't believe that the great pyramids were tombs and I'll name you 20 that do. Name one single Egyptologist who doesn't believe the builders believed in effective magic and numerous invisible gods who controlled man's destiny and I'll eat my hat. You can't find one who believes there was a fundamental difference between the authors of the PT and the book of the dead and you've never even bothered to list one who doesn't assume ramps were used.

All Egyptologists believe the ancients were changeless and stinky footed bumpkins who dragged tombs up ramps. Or from another perspective they dragged ramps up tombs. These are the foundational assumptions of Egyptology. They are the metaphysics of Egyptology.
