Deception in Ancient Egyptian Magical Religion

There is much discussion about the age of the famous monuments of Egypt, especially the pyramids at Giza viz: were they built in 10,000 bce as some independent researchers maintain or are they old, but, as all academic specialists say, not that old, more like circa 2500bce.

What was the purpose of this process, was it propaganda or could it be more, perhaps even as an aid to the derangement of the senses, engendering religious trance states?
