Because the death was so sudden, that the workers didn't have any time to build a pyramid for him.They just took another tomb that was being built for a different king and used it. Scientists don't know whose tomb.

IT was "lost" shortly after he was entombed - a flash flood covered the entrance with several meters of soil which set like concrete. After this event the presence of the tomb seems to have been forgotten and as grave robbers did not know it was there they did not rob it.
