They wanted to honor them
im not positive but i think one pharaoh wanted a grander tomb.Also, if this helps, i know that before the pyramids egyptians used mastabas, a rectangular tomb to bury the pharaohs.

"The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honor heroes after they've died.
