Why Were the Great Pyramids Built in Egypt? Artificial Intelligence (AI) Review of the New Socio-Economic PaC Model Theory: Expert Verification by 5 AI Systems [Part 6: AI Peer Review]

Were the Great Pyramids of Egypt merely tombs, or rather a strategic tool in the hands of rulers for the socio-economic development of their country? The innovative theory and "Process as a Goal" (PaC) model by Jacek Krzysztoń proposes a fundamental shift in understanding antiquity. It posits that monumental structures were not ends in themselves (products), but merely pretexts for launching a long-term construction process that served the development of the state apparatus, social integration, and centralized resource redistribution. Such a research perspective provides a unique, measurable explanation for the enigmatic "surplus of form over function" (Surplus Over Function) - a phenomenon where the labor investment drastically exceeds the utilitarian value of the object. To subject this hypothesis to verification free from "cognitive inertia" and academic bias, a unique "AI Peer Review" research experiment was conducted. The author's complete body of work was subjected to critical analysis by five leading artificial intelligence systems: GPT-4o, Gemini Advanced, DeepSeek, Grok, and Perplexity. The goal of this audit was not to replace archaeological fieldwork, but to verify the model's internal logical coherence and its explanatory power regarding existing data. This report presents the results of this audit. Despite diverse algorithms, all models reached a consensus. They recognized the PaC Model as a concept free of logical contradictions, one that effectively resolves anomalies in traditional narratives (such as the scale paradox or the evolution of power tools). The models defined the theory as a "paradigm shift" and recommended its inclusion in mainstream scientific research as a fully legitimate research hypothesis, offering a coherent explanation of state-formation mechanisms.

Abstract

Were the Great Pyramids of Egypt merely tombs, or rather a strategic tool in the hands of rulers for the socio-economic development of their country? The innovative theory and "Process as a Goal" (PaC) model by Jacek Krzysztoń proposes a fundamental shift in understanding antiquity. It posits that monumental structures were not ends in themselves (products), but merely pretexts for launching a long-term construction process that served the development of the state apparatus, social integration, and centralized resource redistribution. Such a research perspective provides a unique, measurable explanation for the enigmatic "surplus of form over function" (Surplus Over Function) - a phenomenon where the labor investment drastically exceeds the utilitarian value of the object. To subject this hypothesis to verification free from "cognitive inertia" and academic bias, a unique "AI Peer Review" research experiment was conducted. The author's complete body of work was subjected to critical analysis by five leading artificial intelligence systems: GPT-4o, Gemini Advanced, DeepSeek, Grok, and Perplexity. The goal of this audit was not to replace archaeological fieldwork, but to verify the model's internal logical coherence and its explanatory power regarding existing data. This report presents the results of this audit. Despite diverse algorithms, all models reached a consensus. They recognized the PaC Model as a concept free of logical contradictions, one that effectively resolves anomalies in traditional narratives (such as the scale paradox or the evolution of power tools). The models defined the theory as a "paradigm shift" and recommended its inclusion in mainstream scientific research as a fully legitimate research hypothesis, offering a coherent explanation of state-formation mechanisms.
