My theory: The Pyramids were a conduit for psychic power.
This is purely anecdotal, because today we still don't know what these structures were used for, and how they were built.
I believe the biggest quest of humanity is gain an agreed-upon moral code. Earlier in this quest, we didn't have such strict rules, opening the door to a worst-case-scenario becoming the norm interpretation. This can be based upon the evidence we have, as left to us by our Ancestors, in hieroglyphs and tombs, and in temples showing slavery and human sacrifices. As a species we had to fight to get simple moral codes such as "you shouldn't kill" written into into our laws ,and we also had to get the practice of ritual human sacrifice written out of our laws. Modern gangs, and the advent of modern warfare is subconsciously still associated under the moral leadership of a system that says ritual human sacrifice "is not ok". We can't imagine the rules and lack of the rules in a World that says it is.
Lets look at psychic with an emphasis on the Latin root "Psych" as a basis for that word, or the textbook definition which includes matters of the mind. I'm not referring to the kind of psychic power we associate with in mythical portrayals, such as with cleverly illustrated lines, and figures like Professor X tapping his head. I'm talking about the kind that's cultivated. Explainable, but still tangible.
With the right promotion, one can give any icon power, look at the logos we use and what we associate them with, from religions to gang signs. Look at all the different shapes and how they can trigger an emotion by simply being viewed, because of their association.
Roll up on them pyramids back in the day if you bad. Imagine seeing those mysterious shrines, in their active state in real life. Think of the impact of seeing the tallest man made structure(s) in the World in ancient times, standing tall like a futuristic fortress, a perfectly aligned, triangular, smooth, crisp geometrical shape, one shining with a gold light, made even brighter at the top with a gold tip. This is thousands of years before BC, mind you. Consider the fact that only until the last 100 years has humanity been capable of producing a weapon strong enough to remove them, so that icon ruled symbolically, and physically as a permanent fixture of human achievement and empire. And there might have been more than one, considering the time period.
Keep in mind these magnificent triangles also represent the dark, the light, the cosmic, the organic, the military, wealth, law, language, the "workforce", the scientific World, the artistic World, the human body, the mind, the soul, and even sex. That's dominion over every aspect of a person's existence, the literal result of a societal pyramid scheme, with an easily-brandable, indestructible icon to match. Iconography to the extreme. This is the same triangle found in every human-created, and organic shape in the World with Mathematics, in the Golden Ratio, which the pyramids also align with. It's also in alignment with the sun, the moon and the stars.
The kingdom of which these pyramids sat, were ruled by the Pharoahs, who were sent from the Gods for this very purpose. In his heyday, Michael Jackson had the power to make people faint with just his presence, voice, and moves. Again, I define this as a kind of psychic power. We all know the methods, talent, and promotion he used to achieve it; they're not mystical, magical, but they're tangible, and its results were magic on the stage. I think that's the last time we will see a human whose presence can cause such a visceral reaction from people. We also know of people who produce similar, but lesser, reactions, such as the Pope. The Pharoahs were the spiritual leaders of the Kingdoms, so they were like Popes, and maybe even the Michael Jacksons, but they were also leaders of the monarchy, ruling in matters of military, justice and civility. That level of leadership opens the historical possibility of the Pharoah of the time being a King or Queen that's well respected and feared, or a tyrant, simply feared and more feared.
Back to the Gods. The Gods hold domain over the ruler of the Kingdom in which these mystical objects reside in. Some of these Gods are represented by people wearing animal masks, or are just animals. That brings up interesting forms of worship. Consider the likelihood and potential implications of people warring over individual Gods. The pyramids could have represented this energy. You may agree or not agree with modern religion, but ain't nobody dying over no alligator, hippo, cat or falcon. With the religious implications of the Gods in play. The Pharoah being linked with the complex would be akin to Vatican being in DC with the US President being Pope also.
I can picture the pyramids holding so much power, some people went crazier and crazier as they got closer to them. Others might have fainted upon sight, like one having a religious experience. Maybe they tried to absorb this energy somehow. The builders were probably years ahead in something we struggle to understand. I think it had to do with matters of the most untapped resource in terms of successful efficacy throughout time, the human mind.
That's just my theory. God bless.
