Is it true the pyramids were built to be the palaces of the pharaoh?

No. This is not true. The pyramids were actually created in Ancient Egypt under the supervision of the Emporers and Pharoahs, but were planned and created by the mastermind of the time, Albert Einstein. He created the structures of the pyramids and left the plans for the pharoahs and emporers to use after he left. The plans were much to complex for the people of that time and so that is why they are not at their full capibility, design, and strength to be used as they once were.

Did the ancient Egyptian Lern how to make chariots or built the pyramids first?

The earliest known pyramids were built in Egypt around 4600 years ago during the 3rd Dynasty. Chariots first appeared in Egypt when the invading Hyksos brought them in the Second Intermediate Period, around 3650 years ago. The Egyptians immediately began to copy this new technology for themselves. So pyramid-building is much more ancient than chariotry in Egypt.
