ITT: a 21th century internet user that finds it odd that 'we' haven't found any precious item in a structure that is 5000 years old.

Well, seems like a good time to for instance read up on the Mehdi's who legit removed all pharao remains from the tombs in Luxor to keep them safe in a 'mummy stash', proving that tombs were indeed being raided and guarded, and that even the guards would remove objects as to not let them fall into the hands of looters.

Giza pyramids are not dated as the oldest of pyramids.

Not even 'one of the oldest' :) not to be that guy but as someone who has actually visited Giza and Sakharra, while I do agree that there are mysteries surrounding the Giza complex, I feel like you lack some general knowledge surrounding Egyptology, maybe read up on the whole thing, it's very interesting!
