To build a tomb. Not a shrine, not a place of worship, not a functional structure. Not something that could be repaired or repurposed. A tomb and nothing else.

A purposeless pyramid would get bogged down with plumbing and fountains and extra passageways and observation decks and on and on and on. It would have been impossible to build.
