I suppose if you ignore the evidence that someone pried open the “sarcophagus”
—
And you have proof that it was an actual sarcophagus? Proof that it was used as such? Proof that someone pried it open, and it was not originally that way? How do you know it ever had a lid? Or just assumption and conjecture? None of the theories presented are evidence of anything, except they exist.
You are of course aware that the inside of the so-called sarcophagus has been measured as machined smooth and the corners to within small fractions of true right angles? If it was as you say, why would anyone go to that trouble for something never seen? Like the many huge sarcophagi at the Serapeum of Saqqara?
You seem to have swallowed the prevailing consensus thinking whole.
Keep an open mind, deal with what you see, and leave aside conjecture, assumptions and theories which cannot be proved.
“And you have proof that it was an actual sarcophagus?”
No, that’s why I put “sarcophagus” in quotes.
“Proof that someone pried it open, and it was not originally that way?”
When you have a corner broken off, a missing lid, tool marks, and a matching box in the next pyramid over that has no broken corner, a non-missing lid, and no tool marks, then I think the idea that it was pried open and the lid is missing is the default hypothesis, and any other hypothesis is the one that needs to justify itself.
“Or just assumption and conjecture?”
Everything is assumption and conjecture when it comes to archaeology, until we find some written documents or something like that. However, there is assumption and conjecture with varying reasonable degrees of likelihood.
“You are of course aware that the inside of the so-called sarcophagus has been measured as machined smooth and the corners to within small fractions of true right angles?”
No, you can’t argue that and also argue that the broken corner might have been meant to be that way. Those are two contradictory arguments. Pick one.
“You seem to have swallowed the prevailing consensus thinking whole.”
I have not, I just don’t swallow every popular theory that is designed mainly to sell books to ignorant people rather than to hold up to scrutiny.
