Which of the following conclusion seem reasonable or unreasonable:

1. Surrounding the Step Pyramid is an elaborate wall containing 13 false entrances and one real one. The main entrance is on the East wall.

2. One enters a hall of 40 columns and come upon a series of pits extending deep into the earth.

3. The pits are centrally connect by a tunnel and extend to a well about ground level.

4. One pit has a staircase that extend down to the bottom. The staircase leads to a central exit point for the grain storage bins

5. Djoser is believed to have ordered the building of the 11 pits for grain storage. Grain was found on the floor of the pits.

Does the facts that the Well pits have grain residue prove that Dsojer stored grain near the Step Pyramids?
