The Halls of Amenti Have Been Discovered Under the Giza Plateau

First and foremost, it was a power plant. Second, they were a tuning frequency device that healed the human body. Third, I believe they used them to communicate with their home world - somewhere in the Orions belt. Fourth, to be a standing time capsule. As the videos delved into, The monuments and the Giza Plateau are a 'Hall of records' all in themselves. Fifth, capabilities of using as a weapon.

How about a sacraficial lottery game machine?

Someone seeking the afterlife stands on the top with an executioner, turns round a few times with their eyes closed and then the executioner cuts off their head from behind. The winner is the one who catches it at the bottom and they get to be the executioner next week.

On a serious note, how about the pyramids being giant lightening rods/conductors? Once struck, any physical body is then removed from the sarcophagus having had the soul and spirit taken up into the afterlife. Would account for the lack of mummies.

'King's Chamber' is a modern archeologist term. I am not 100% sure what that is, but it's not a sarcophagus. 

Along the lines of what you said, I have heard it speculated, that an initiate would lay in the box as a part of initiation into the mysteries. 

Considering the main function of it was a power plant, I think it had something more to do with that. Also speculation, that there were many 'Arcs of the Covenant'. It just so happens that box in the kings chamber perfectly fits the arc, based one dimensions given in ancient texts. Considering that was also an energy device, it would make sense that it helped power the pyramid.

I love John Anthony West's quote on this: "Few things in this world are more predictable than the reaction of conventional minds to unconventional ideas."

There was nothing conventional, about the civilizations prior to the Younger Dryas events. You can attribute almost all the extremes megalithic structure (that don't have, inscriptions, hieroglyphs, or writing) to them. Such as the great pyramid. Everyone knows that funerary texts were essential for Egyptians journey to the afterlife. There are none in the GP.

Yeah Im not a skeptic Im a believer in earlier human civilizations, just haven't read as much on this

Limestone is an insulator, not a conductor.

Giza gets about 1 inch of rain a year.

Tomb robbery (and priests shuffling mummies to more secure locations along with known evidence (from ancient Egyptian trial records) of thieves burning mummies -- AND poor mummification techniques (mostly bones until you get to the New Kingdom) accounts for it.

a) not an initiation chamber.  I've been down there.  There's not a lot of room and no real way to drag someone down that tunnel and into the main chamber without handing them a lamp (and ruining the whole scenario.)  It's cramped (can't stand upright in many areas... including the tunnel down), it's a LONG climb down and back up (and very hard to carry anything while you're going in or out).

b) not a power plant.  If something broke, you would have to climb down a long narrow shaft in the pitch dark and if your light goes out you might never find your way out (and you might fall into a pit.)  Power plant parts have to be accessible (and quickly accessible) to repair any problems or upgrade stuff.

You have to have good lighting if you're going to fix something. 

Also, to be able to have a power plant, you need miles and miles of copper wire of a consistent quality.  No Egyptian copper objects found have a consistent formula (percentage of copper mixed with an exact percentage of other metals... or absolutely pure copper.)

Sandstone covered in limestone is great at holding moisture which is obviously conductive. A simple metallic (gold plated) structure open to the elements on top is the attractor for a lightening strike. Perhaps a pyramid is like an upside down funnel and water was poured into the top. The electrical charge from a strike would therefore be contained better within the area of the interior of the pyramid and the energy would be passed outwards and reflected down ensuring a flow through the whole structure to earth.

How much rainfall did it get about 4,600 years ago?

The sarcophagus in Khufu's pyramid has no lid. It was an open container wasn't it? It was however surrounded by granite but perhaps the Quartz contained in it and the Sandstone was something that comes into play somewhere with the lightening strike and the whole process of function?

Sandstone?  The plateau is limestone and so are the basic blocks.  And one hit from lightning is going to melt any gold... it has a very low melting point.  

Metal doesn't attract lightning, by the way: https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-myths

And the lid was probably broken.

Mortality is certainly a relevant theme. Memento Mori. It's a prudent and enduring reminder that no knowledge exists to thwart the natural course of the human condition. You must first die as a human if you seek ascension, it is a gate all must travel through on their journey to the cosmos.
