Good to see so many folk getting into the subject.
You're still at zero volts, zoser. Come back when you find some granite that produces electricity.

A new field of study has to be a healthy thing.
Electricity is actually one of the
oldest fields of scientific study.

This principle of resonating granite is a fascinating one. How much electromagnetic energy was produced by all that excited granite I wonder.
Zero. None. Don't believe me? Get a piece of granite at your home improvement store and try it yourself.

One can be absolutely certain however that this is what it was for.
So, we've shown you that granite cannot create electricity or any form of energy, yet you're absolutely sure it was used for this impossible purpose. If you are tempting me into some kind of "blockhead" insult, I won't go for it.

No one else has even come close to explaining why the granite was used in the first place.
Uh, to build successful and durable pyramids using available materials, techniques and labor perhaps? Egypt had built some pyramids that failed and no pharaoh was going to let his fall apart.
I have a granite countertop in my kitchen. Do you want to know what I use it for? Oh wait, there can only be one possible explanation.

An incredibly difficult rock to work with.
With some basic masonry knowledge you'll find that granite can be easy to work with. It often splits easily and smoothly into blocks and it polishes into flat even surfaces very well (all you need is two pieces of granite). It's much more durable than the sandstone the Egyptians had been using.

The projected pay back must have been enormous into the hundreds or even thousands of year.
Egypt
does make a lot of money in tourism every year.
