The view that the Great Pyramid was something more than merely a tomb has been held by various people for several centuries, but the real purpose of this Pyramid was not discovered until the latter part of the 19th century.
Some have thought that the Great Pyramid was not a tomb at all, but others that it was a tomb plus something more.
In the Middle Ages star worshippers held meetings in the Great Pyramid as they believed that they gained wisdom therein. Others too, including modern mystics, have held meetings in the King's Chamber. As far back as A.D 1666 Kircher expressed the view that the Great Pyramid had secret mystic significance.
In 1693 Carari and de Chazelles both stated their opinion that the Pyramid, in addition to being a tomb, had some astronomical purpose. In 1774 Paul Lucas suggested that the Great Pyramid was constructed so as to serve as a great sundial marking the exact time of the solstices.
While writers in the 19th century had more science going for them in that they believed that the base measurments of the Great Pyramid represented the days in a year, their ideas came from an older idea that the form of the pyramid represented the diverging rays of the sun upon the earth.
When eminent Egyptologist Sir Gardner Wilkinson arrived on the scene in 1840, great derision was thrown on the argument that not only great doubt on the idea of the pyramid being a tomb but suggested even further that perhaps the Great Pyramid wasn't even built by the Egyptians.
