The reason for the shape is not hard to understand. I’ve seen sun rays come down at the same angles the pyramid edges intersect. It’s an attempt, I think, to get close to the sun.

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.

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

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?
