I'll elaborate: I have been skeptical since childhood of the pyramids at Giza having been built as elaborate ossuaries. The lack of adornment, the multiple chambers and air shafts and lacklustre dating all seem to suggest there may be more to these megaliths than meets the eye. That being said, I'm not very fond of things like "The Pyramid Code" and anything by Bauvall/Hancock, which just reeks of epicycles of conjecture rather than serious scholarship.
So, if someone may be so kind, are there any legitimate alternate theories to the origins of the Giza necropolis? Similarly, could anyone recommend good literature on the subject?
There are no other theories of any merit on what the pyramids were for. They served as tombs for dead pharaohs. Not beacons to hail down aliens, not magical altars, and not prisons for ancient Decepticons. The writings on the walls of the inside talk about the lives of the pharaohs and their journey into the afterlife, there are numerous other pyramids in Egypt outside of Giza that serve the same purpose, and that's really all that needs to be said.
