The pyramids were mostly created as a protection for the body in a tomb. The shape provided protection because they were very steep, and the pyramid itself was filled with a maze of pathways and traps to protect the body and tomb.

Actually they did not build the pyramids to impress people.

The ancient Egyptians had rather extreme funeral customs. The fact that pyramids are impressive is purely coincidental to their actual function.
