I understand your objections and share your distaste for unsupported Egyptological opinion.
But I imagine there are numerous ways the Great Pyramid could come into existence organically. Even the nonsense that Egyptology believes probably isn't "really" impossible.
I believe human history and human progress started 40,000 years ago and was lost ~2000 BC. This opens up numerous more ways in which the pyramid could come to be naturally. This opens up ever more possibilities of functions for the pyramid.
Why Egyptology jumped to their conclusions and have never reconsidered them is beyond me.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
