For one thing, I'm guessing they knew that the Great Pyramid isn't a prison for a giant octopus.

"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

Maybe it has a pool
No lifeguard though.
It is right by the Nile - current ideas about the construction involve a canal being cut in to float the stones right up. Or trap a massive cephalopod monstrosity. Backfill the canal and that bugger is surrounded by a "moat" of sand.
