I'd like to say that this ping is in before the nuttery, but I can't claim that.

Starting November, the pyramids of Giza will be subject to a non-invasive survey in an attempt to unravel their secrets four millennia after their construction. “Several theories have been brought forward during the past century to understand the method that the ancient Egyptians used to construct the pyramids but all are still scientific hypotheses,” Minister of Antiquities Mamdouh Eldamaty told Ahram Online.
Eldamaty continued, saying that the ScanPyramids project is a new means to learn how the pyramids were built and understand the reason behind the pyramid-shaped design. The scans will also detect the existence of any hidden chambers, corridors, and doors inside the pyramids.
Eldamaty explains that this would be implemented through radiographic muons, (a process similar to x-ray, but much more deeply penetrating), infrared thermography, photogrammetry, scanning, and 3D reconstruction. The most innovative technologies will be used by researchers from three universities: the Faculty of Engineering of Cairo University, Université Laval of Quebec, and Nagoya University of Japan.
“Their goal is to probe Egypt’s largest pyramids, without touching them or drilling the slightest opening,” Eldamaty asserted.
Phase one of the project will scan four masterpieces of the Fourth Dynasty: the Bent and Red pyramids of King Senefru at Dahshur necropolis, fifteen kilometers south of Saqqara, as well as Kings Khufu and Khafre’s pyramids on the Giza plateau.

The Earth's relation to the Sun changes with time, precession, which cycles every 26,000 years and inclination which cycles every year with a 41,000 year range of the tilt. This would have not gone unnoticed by ancient astronomers. So placing a pyramid to face the Sun would be a one time optimized event. Not likely.
The one constant is gravity and its pull. Think of a pile of sand in a sand clock. It forms a cone because that is a stable structure (angle of repose of the sand). The ancients extended this concept in building pyramids that had a natural angle of repose (but with large stones) to endure for eternity. Gravity, not the Sun is the reason for their shape.

No hot tub, sauna, or pool?
The hot tub and sauna are next door, in the sphinx.
Nuttery?
You mean there’s people actually trying to claim that the Pyramids weren’t made by Ancient Aliens?
