Because why? The pyramids are not a fun park or escape room, they are a piece of art. How would you feel if we'd tear Mona Lisa apart to check if there's some older painting below the outside layer and the canvas?

Yeah, that's what I was referring to. Is it worth it to destroy the Mona Lisa (the outer paint layer) just to see if there's something underneath?
