Not planes, gliders. Models of gliders in fact. And even if they had built them (which I concede is unlikely, but not unreasonably so) using them to travel any distance would have been impossible due to Egypt being so incredibly flat.
Unless...
Maybe that is the true purpose of the pyramids. They just wanted something to jump off in order to have fun with their huge impractical gliders.

Obviously.

i heard that the pyramids were not build for king tombs its just that other dynasty used them as such but it was not the original purpose for them.
So, how did the dynasty that used them as tombs get a sarcophagus into the king's chamber when it would never have fit through the openings?

Torches would get you killed without really great vents. When I was a kid Egytologists seem to think they used polished shields to reflect light down the shafts.

i think they may have actually just made their own limestone style cement and formed the blocks on site.
The limestone seems like less of a problem than the sandstone.

that was the prevailing theory during the mummy movie phase.i see it working for the 1st few rooms not so much after.
i really think that they made their own stone blocks via an ancient cement mixing.
it would answer a lot of questions.
But we have found the quarry were they cut the stone from the bedrock. Did they do that just to fool us? 😉
