If the Egyptian pyramids were actually part of a larger structure what purpose would they have served?

I am 100% serious when I say that they were built for a reason that's much more complex than simple tombs. Electricity generation is the most logical to me but I'm open to ideas. Have heard theories anywhere from it being a magic portal to the pyramids basically being a giant water pump.
Wtf? Pls say this is satire.
Honestly, why would they make three precise giant buildings for a tomb? It probably had a purpose that is unknown to us. Read Giza Power Plant for more info on the idea, it is very compelling. Video on the book

Same reason we would spend a stupid amount of money on the St. Louis Arch, Statue of Liberty, or Palace of Versaille, or any work of art? To create a lasting symbol of something and to symbolize status.
I'm sure you found that book very compelling, but any electrical engineer or historian with an understanding of that period's technology could rip it apart.
Right cause we spent a shitton of time to build the Empire State Building to look at it? No we use that bitch. Now imagine spending 30x that much time and energy and materials, and making it accurate to a ridiculous degree, and then being like "yeah lets do that again lol". For why? A tomb? I have my fucking doubts.
Sure you can grab the one example in my argument that was actually functional and not fully symbolic, but my point still stands, humans build seemingly irrational things to grandstand, and the Pharoahs would've for sure done the same in their role as dictators.
I have my fucking doubts.
And I'm sure so has every serious academic who has studied the pyramids and all came to the conclusion that it was a tomb, and if you read their reasonings for that I'm sure you'd understand why they came to that conclusion.

He's an electrician, not an Electrical Engineer. Very different lol
Enough to know it's bullshit.
