The greater majority of those doubters ( that the pyramid was a tomb) felt that it was something more; something far greater.
During the middle ages mystics and star worshippers convened and had meetings inside the Pyramid believing they gained wisdom just from being on the inside. They would go into the King's chamber thinking this was the most vital place to contact spiritual realities.
As far back as 1693 men expressed their opinion such as Carari and de Chazelles that the Great Pyramid was built for astronomical purposes. Where as later in 1774 Paul Lucas expressed his opinion that it was built primarily as a sundial to track and make exact marking of the time of the solstices
The form of the Great Pyramid some even older theorists believed represented the diverging rays of the Sun on the earth. Writers in the latter part of the 1700's and then into the next century maintained that the measurements of the sacred cubit exactly coincided with the days in a solar year.
When eminent Egyptologist Sir Gardner Wilkinson arrived on the scene in 1840, great derision was thrown on the argument that not only great doubt on the idea of the pyramid being a tomb but suggested even further that perhaps the Great Pyramid wasn't even built by the Egyptians.
