WireRider I guess some things are just mysteries. I am much more perplexed lately about finding out who that one person is in the Ukrane that thinks I am cute. There is also one person within 7 miles of me that thinks I am cute according to the adds I keep seeing on this site. I guess they'l remain a mystery too. Sigh.....
I am sure there is somebody out there that knows.
It really isn't a mystery to why the Pyramids were built from different ancient cultures and civilizations ,
it had much to do with spiritualism and beliefs systems.
Archaeological knowledge has grown over the years and we now have a much better understanding about these man made monuments.
The Egyptian Pyramids also served as Tombs for Pharaohs as they traveled in passing to the higher afterlife.
The worship and recognition of the Sun also played a role as the rays of the Sun shinning down to earth as it were.
Here's a good Documentary on Pyramids concerning who built them and why .
1) Why were they built? They aren't a house or office building. They are very large for what and for who?
The pyramids were built for many reasons. As tombs, symbols of power, sites of religious worship, and as cosmic engines (clocks). The only mystery here is how do you not know this? The answers to these questions can be found in a sixth grade history book.
2) The precision of the stone blocks is unfathomable at that age of our understanding of human development. World class construction companies have said they would not even attempt to create such a building today. Some sites with 1000 ton blocks. And for what/who? How did they achieve such precision with out our modern day machines???
This is not true at all. It's well understood how the stones were quarried and cut into the shapes and sizes they needed. We've even found the tools they used to do this. Here's a short video on some of the techniques they used:

Also, the idea that we couldn't build the great pyramids today is absurd. The Great Pyramid is about 3,000,000 cubic yards. By comparison, the Panama Canal was built in 1903 and they moved over a 1,000,000 cubic yards . . . per day! And the precision needed for the water locks they built is far - far greater than anything in the pyramids.
3) Why did cultures all over the world independently develop such similarities with now way to communication with each other at all? No, it was not a planet wide pyramid competitions - you'd think so, but no.
What similarities? The pyramid shape? Are you surprised that separate civilizations also discovered spheres and cubes independently too?
A pyramid is the easiest three dimensional shape you can build. And it was the only shape that they could build with the materials they had to those kinds of heights.
Haven't done any reading on this since I studied ancient Egypt for a project at school but I thought ancient cultures built pyramids to get closer to God or gods.
Whether to get worshippers at a religious site closer to gods and heaven or to get the deceased who was buried inside it closer to the afterlife. It seemed natural for ancient peoples to think gods were up in the sky because they certainly weren't down here.
Humanity has a undeniable history of ignorance of the world in which they/we live in.
The reason why so many gods were imagined and worshipped and so much mythology was created and written.
Like what the ancient Hebrews wrote in the Torah and later in the NT of the bible concerning Jesus Christ.
OTWO:
Sorry I meant to upvote you. I haven't read much about pyramids but I thought your explanation was completely logical.
I need to keep my misbehaving sausages fingers away from the "like" button 😡
