No, they were mostly ancient arab texts and “lore”. They were translated as “lights that had been burning for hundreds of years”. Also descriptions of devices that sound like what we would call robots today.
No, I don’t necessarily believe any of that. But I don’t believe the great pyramid was empty. It was looted long ago, and the actual purpose has been lost.
There are some constants across time, and one thing about construction or engineering, people don’t waste a lot of time on high precision, or specific materials, if they are not necessary for a reason, unless they are for a specific purpose. I don’t believe it was for “power generation” or “water pump” and all that, either. I’ve no idea. They sure went to a lot of trouble though.
The whole area is riddled with tunnels. I bet there are all sorts of really amazing things buried in the sand still yet today. It must have really humbled earlier travelers too. The great pyramid was the tallest man made structure through out human history - until the Eiffel Tower in 1888 or whatever. That’s crazy if you stop and think about it.
You should read Dunn - he’s a respected machinist who took engineering tools to measure as much as he could inside the Great Pyramid and found that something happened - traces of two chemical compounds were found in two of the shafts which went mixed in conjunction with - something to do with the subterranean chamber - I forgot all of the specifics at the moment - generates current.
All of that is as scientific as it gets with measurement and chemical analysis, so its not a matter of belief, but perhaps an interpretation of the data.
There is absolutely no evidence that the Great Pyramid was looted - that’s conjecture by modern Egyptologists, who are tied up with consensus thinking and protecting the myth begun by Herodotus, maintaining Egypt’s largest source of revenue - tourism.

Are you sure you cannot provide any sources for that? I would be most appreciative.
“people don’t waste a lot of time on high precision, or specific materials, if they are not necessary for a reason, unless they are for a specific purpose”
This is very much true of the ancient Egyptian monuments as well. Many parts of the pyramids feature spectacular precision, and just as many parts (the ones not meant to be seen usually) are sloppy, unfinished, backfilled with rubble, etc.
