This is untrue.

The very first pyramid wasa a great pyramid 200' tall and after G2 they never made another great pyramid.

Egyptology tries to hide these simple truths by deceit. They call the little piles of debris built later "pyramids" just so they don't need to address the fact that they built great pyramids with NO PRECEDENT and then suddenly stopped building great pyramids.

And it must be "mortuary" architecture because they assumed it was.

There is no direct evidence any great pyramid was a tomb. Egyptologists reach into their hats full of et als and come out with semantics.

Where's the beef?
