I would object because of the bureaucracy. It would cost less to make a new one. Then you could do both. And in 5000 years we might get new alien conspiracies about why we have two sets of pyramids in two different time periods.

The neopyramidal period. For some reason they stopped building pyramids for 4000 years but decided to start again
