If Egypt was planning to put a seven star suite inside the great pyramid would you stay in it?
A night of opulence at the great pyramid! Would you stay there? Why or Why not?

I second @deni – It would be a disgrace.
its ancient and needs to be left undisturbed for as long as the earth exists.
No. They shouldn’t destroy it. I don’t think we need to worry that this will happen. They’d never get the bad odor out of those ancient rocks enough to turn it into an opulent accommodation. The smell was so bad that I chose not to go in any farther than the entry and went on a camel ride instead.
No. It would be a travesty, in so many ways. That might actually motivate me to go there and chain myself to whatever part of The Great Pyramid one could chain oneself to and and in protest. Hopefully others would join me because I wouldn’t be much of a match for the Egyptian government all by myself.
Only if we can cram a McDonalds & mini-Walmart in there too.
No, for two reasons. Desecration of an ancient site. Installing a hotel in there would cause untold damage and I would certainly join any protest against such a thing. Also, I could never afford it.
Desecration and travesty as indicated above—Hell no!
No, but I bet my Mummy would! :¬)
only if there are windows.
I think a pyramid is built so that you can’t enter the actual ’‘triangle’’. It’s basically all blocks on top of one another, although there are small openings inside, like tunnels which lead from the underground tomb to the outside, as to allow the soul of the deceased to get out.
So, technically, you can’t go in a pyramid…and as morbid as I may be, I’d rather not sleep with the dead in the underground tomb. :/
Right they would hollow the pyramid out a bit…
@Symbeline I don’t think the dead are actually still there any more. Also I saw an interesting TV program not long ago, about how most of the interior tunnels weren’t to do with the tombs at all, they were passages used for pulleys and ropes to haul the building stones up to the top in the later stages of construction. A fascinating and very plausible theory.
@downtide Yeah, that makes more sense. But the Egyptians were also very spiritual people back then. I’d like to know then, if architects and the like have confirmed that the tunnels were for construction purposes? I mean the patterns, where the tunnels went, and alla that?
@Symbeline I can’t remember if the theory was confirmed or if it was just a theory. It was a few months ago that I saw it and my memory’s not that good.
