cause they wanted to be rich and filty
first of all they did steal his tomb and they did stell the riches like jewls clothing headdresses and gold so >:P
I believe that they are called tomb robbers or grave robbers.
So the tomb robbers won't steal the pharaoh's treasures.
For the same reason people rob banks, jewellery shops, and so on - greed. You would also have corrupt priests who would divulge the location of graves for a fee or pay-off. Human nature has not changed since the time of the pharoahs!
They stopped because tomb robbvers will steal gold and other things.They made The valley of the Kings to keep the kings safe from tomb robbers.
Because the tomb robbers might find it and go inside and steal valuables such as gold accesories, mummies, etc. A tomb location is also important because if the base is soft, the tomb will be severely damaged after a period.
Your right, they would steal all kinds of treasures
Vince Graves, the head of the tomb robbers, has found an artifact in the tomb at the Sphinx. To distract him, call him on your cell phone (his number is on the shovel). (see related question)
break in, get the money, and get out of there cuz it's going to light up like the forth of July..nah.. but they do run away.
It was made to confuse tomb robbers.
Pharaohs hid their tombs because they were afraid of robbers robbing the tombs so they tried to hide them away from robbers.
because they used the good from the kings bodies to sell them in black markets
