There is no evidence that anyone ever dragged a single stone up a single great pyramid.
There is no direct evidence that any great pyramid was used or intended as a tomb.
It is illogical to assume the builders were superstitious based on nothing except what we believe is a book of incantation.
It is is complete non sequitur to assume that words meant the same thing in a book of incantation as the "book of the dead".

The four great cornerstones of Egyptological thought for the last two centuries are founded in quicksand.

Ramps are disproven and the evidence clearly shows stones were all pulled up from above one step at a time.

It is irrelevant that Egyptological opinion about pyramid building hasn't changed in two centuries because we are the stinky footed bumpkins and "ramps" are a bumpkin idea that was never supported by evidence.
