Not all pyramids were made from mud. The earlier pyramids such as the pyramids at Giza were made from stone. Later pyramids were made from mud bricks cased in stone. The stone casing did afford some protection from elements. Many of these pyramids where the casing has been removed or collapsed are often just shapeless heaps of dried mud.
Why did the limestone come from the river valley where they built the Great Pyramid?
The limestone quarry where they mined the stone for the pyramids had to be relatively close to the pyramids (they could not move the blocks far), and the nearest good stone to be quarried was to be found between the pyramids and the Nile River.

It is also known as the "Step-Pyramid" because it looks like stairs. It is the worlds first known stone structure and it is still standing today. The Africans built the Pyramids on the Giza plateau (such as the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Kafra, and Menkora would come later.
