In the beginning of time there were troubled waters and from the troubled waters a mound arose. It is said that from the mound arose the locus and in flight became Ra the sun god and all creation. Ra, in the morning is born onto the world and at sunset dies he is eternal. The after life must be navigated by the Book of the Dead but with many obstacles like narrow bridges doors to choose. Ra must navigate through the after life everyday but is quick to the test. The mound is not an obstacle of worship but the symbolism is at the bottom of the mound represents all the average people. The middle represents leaders of Men and the Armies of the Pharoah. It is the top of the mound shinning through the Sun that represents the Pharoah. The top of the mound is also closest to Ra and the only path to Ra.
The land of the Pharoahs, Most People stand and stare in awe at the Pyramids. Over 3000 years ago they were built and still to this day we don’t know for sure how. The ancient Egyptians lived along the Nile River in Egypt in the upper part of Africa. The Nile was like an oasis in the desert that softened the burning sands. The Hieroglyphs on the walls and tombs of Ancient Egypt were considered spells and were sacred. What they said was truth and all the people of that time believed that. The Pharoahs that were buried in those tombs were Gods to the People and as Gods they demanded respect even in the afterlife.

"The after life must be navigated by the Book of the Dead but with many obstacles like narrow bridges doors to choose."
I think you meant to say that the afterlife must be navigated by using the Book of the Dead, and that the after life contains many obstacles like narrow bridges and many doors to choose between. Yes?
Also, I was under the impression that the current belief is that the Egyptians built the pyramids using on-site stone masons and laborers and with the erection of enormous sand mounds used to transport the stones into place. The mounds were then leveled, leaving the pyramid to stand alone in all its glory. Egytologists also believe the same technique was used for erecting columns and buildings throughout the kingdom. Some such mounds still exist today.
Egyptologists.
As for theories, etc., I watch quite a bit of historical documentaries and am aware of a great many "theories" about how this and that accomplishment from centuries past were or were not carried out. I do tend to lean on the side of explainable science. I'm sure it is possible that past civilizations have developed technologies were would not have expected—look at all the information coming out in documentary form concerning ancient Rome and Greece—but I still think we should err on the side of the explainable. More than a few documentaries about Egyptian building methods have commented on the large sand mounds as being the method used. Still, until we build a good Time-Machine and go back for observation, we'll just have to place our faith in whichever theory we like best.
