The colloseum was built in a time and place with written records. The pyramids were not. Same for any other massive structures that get the “aliens built it” treatment. Even Mayan architecture, which comes from a time and place with written records, only got this treatment because Mayan hieroglyphs were unintelligble to most folks, including the people in the region itself.
Contrary to what one might expect, there are no hieroglyphic texts, treasures, or mummies in any of pyramids of Giza. Decoration inside pyramids began several centuries after those of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure were constructed
While lacking the panache of Abu Simbel or Karnak, there were written records in the Great pyramids. Mostly work graffiti and seals, as far as I can learn, but that would count.
Good to learn about the decorative drive growing as the Kingdoms aged, though.
