They were buried reverentially, and with some goods to help them in the afterlife. It is clear that the workers were not slaves, but paid workers who were treated well by the standards of their time.

The Pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom were buried in grand tombs at Thebes and in or near the Fayum, where the new capital of Dynasty 12 was located. The tombs were built of mudbrick and had an elaborate system of subterranean corridors and rooms built in stone.
The Ancient Egyptians constructed pyramids as tombs for their pharaohs (kings).
The wives pyramids, also known as queen pyramids, were built next to the pyramids of Egyptian pharaohs to house the remains of the pharaoh's wives or close relatives. These smaller pyramids were designed to honor and provide a burial place for important women in the pharaoh's life.
People such as Pharaohs were buried in Pyramids. Pharaohs are Kings. They were buried with a lot of jewellery and some food as it was believed that the Pharoas had an afterlife. Also, the pharaoh's main wife often also had a pyramid built for her.
Inside the pyramids, you would typically find burial chambers where the pharaohs and their treasures were placed, as well as passages and corridors leading to these chambers. The chambers may contain sarcophagi, mummies, artifacts, and offerings for the afterlife.
The pyramids were important because they were where the pharohs were buried!
