Pyramids are not what we know of as the 'Egyptian' religion, but an older one

Pyramid invaders into Egypt.

The evidence is clear. The presence of worldwide pyramids, (Babel builders were 'scattered' around the world) particularly in the light of continuous redating of pyramids all over America to earlier and earlier times, shows us that one cannot explain the evolution of pyramids in solely Egyptian terms This is truly an unexplained worldwide phenomenon. This acknowledgement has consequences for Egyptian prehistory..


Pyramid builders invaded Egypt from two directions.

One of the things I suggest in my book is that evolution of pyramids did not occur solely in Egypt, an idea which dovetails into the Egyptological desire to specialize only on Egypt. Rather, pyramids are found everywhere, going well back, I argue, to the days of the temple discovered in Turkey in the 90s, which dates from several millennia after the Ice Age ended, Gobekli Tepe. That temple, being on top of a hill, like Giza, has pyramid-like attributes, particularly as it was an established structure, subsequently covered over. The religion of covering over old sites with soil is found as far as Britain, Ireland and the Americas. In Ireland roundhouse palaces became mounds. Communal longhouses belonging to the tribe were covered over and subsequently became long barrows in Britain and continental Europe. In Poland these survive as 'pyramids' in primordial polish forests, untouched by the plow Polish Pyramids.   ..

Given the profusion of worldwide 'pyramid' culture and idea, the fact an ancient temple to the ancestors becomes a huge mound (and whether or not such mounds derive from the mountain-worship religion of primordial times), we can expect that Egypt would in fact, lying on a land bridge, between Africa and Asia, have been invaded by various pyramid cultures at several times, which are far older than Egypt. This is the 'explanation' that many have been seeking for why it is that pyramids occur at the very beginning of Egyptian history. Although the heyday of pyramids was the third millennium BC, they go back well before that, into prehistory. We know this due to archaeology, but also more or less by the fact that no-one from even historic times (post 3100 BC) knows or recorded what pyramids are for It's been old hat for a very long time indeed
Was this hill in Turkey an early 'pyramid'?. . . 
In fact, in the book, I argue that Egypt was invaded by two different pyramid cultures. Some invasions are cyclic and periodic. For instance look at the Viking invasions of the British Isles. Vikings became Northmen, became Normans, Saxons, and then 'English'. English then invaded Ireland and in many cases became Irish nationalists. Irish people then basically traveled everywhere. The process was ongoing for thousands of years. 

I believe that pyramids they evolved in Egypt due in part to internal developments but also due to (something Egyptologists generally allow for, but won't discuss for a variety of reasons) invasion. The invasion need not have been bloody. There is no evidence that it was. Look at migrations ongoing today into Europe. 

The origin of Third and Fourth dynasties

In the book, I suggest that the Third Dynasty was a culture which comes from an unknown eastern direction. This was possibly not Mesopotamia, because this culture, in Egypt, lacks many Mesopotamian details, despite having very similar pyramids which look like Ziggurats. 
The culture was then usurped by invaders, I am guessing from the west, who instituted the fourth dynasty. These I hazard, are from the plains of Eurasia. They sought to build a stupa-like structure but were unable to do so in the Egyptian desert. Who knows if they build one in the endlessly changing Nile Valley. What they did do however was impart their knowledge, as well as that of the existing Egyptians, to build casing stones for their pyramids, smoothing them over, as if they were mounds made of soil, which are essentially smooth.
We went from step pyramids.... . 
 
To smooth pyramids with the change of a dynasty. Now I wonder if the bend in the bent pyramid is not deliberate, to simulate an earth mound of Eurasia perhaps? Archaeologists see it as a mistake.. 
I think this may have inspired Biblical stories about Joseph (perhaps one inspiration for  Djozer/Zozer), and subsequently replaced later by Pharaoh, who then oppressed the inhabitants. This reminds one of the oppression spoken of by Herodotus, similar to Fourth Dynasty leaders like Khufu who essentially had a different religion or purpose to the Egyptians. Of course a similar scenario may have happened later on, with New Kingdom usurping Hyksos kingdom, but legends are not history, so any significant historical period could have contributed ideas to later stories
 
Egypt then may well have been a clash of pyramid cultures This clash then inspired the evolution of pyramids, during the third millennium before Christ.

If you would like to read more about some of my ideas regarding all this, please have a look at my book, In Search of the Origin of Pyramids and the Lost Gods of Giza, available cheaply in Kindle edition. It is also available in paperback edition for those who wish to make notes. I guarantee you will see info found no-where else. . .
