∙ 12y agoIt became obvious that pyramids were too easily robbed of the treasures they contained and the mummified remains of royal kings and queens could be destroyed as the robbers hunted for jewels among the mummy wrappings. Pyramids stood out like neon signs saying "Come and get your treasure here".
All of the known pyramids were plundered in ancient times, despite all the measures taken to prevent it.
The next step was to hide tombs away from sight, in rock-cut chambers in cliffs, in deep holes that could be covered over and disguised (like the tomb of Tutankhamun) or in remote desert places away from the pyramid sites.

How did the ancient egyptians try to stop the thieves finding the tombs?
a lot of stuff like trap doors and booby traps so that robbers couldn't rob all of the kings stuff the egyptians put jewels, servants, dishes, pets. they put everything in the tomb they thought the Pharaoh would need in the afterlife.
Did people live in the pyramids they built?
Nobody lived in the Egyptian pyramids. They were tombs for the Egyptian dead.
When did the construction of the pyramids end?
It is not possible to answer that question with our current level of knowledge.Recent amazing satellite imagery has identified large numbers of previously unknown pyramids in Egypt which have been completely buried by sand or are in various stages of decay or construction; since these have not yet been scientifically investigated no dates can be given for their construction.Based solely on our understanding of known pyramids, the building programme was abandoned by the end of the Middle Kingdom (around 1786 BC). This view may change when studies on the newly-discovered pyramids are completed, but it may take over 100 years to carry out that work, which will be considerably hampered by the large amounts of sand to be cleared.

Why ancient egyptians stop building pyramids?
Ancient Egyptians stoped building pyramids mainly because of grave robbers. Since there were jewelry and valuable things, it attracted lots of grave robbers.

Many believe that pharaohs stooped building pyramids because of the extreme labor it took to build them but no one is completely certain.Pyramids were built as a resting place for deceased pharaohs. The ancient Egyptians believed that the dead would eventually come back to life which is why they left them with prized possessions. Workers prepared the bodies before leaving them to rest and took out the brain because they believed it had no real importance :-)
