The pyramids were like large tombs for upper class people like pharaohs and priests. There was a 40 plus day spiritual ritual ceremony, preparing the body for the afterlife. The pyramids stopped being built because it was just a sign where riches lied for tomb robbers, so they made underground tombs, the same purpose and inside as a pyramid would.

Actually they did not build the pyramids to impress people.

The ancient Egyptians had rather extreme funeral customs. The fact that pyramids are impressive is purely coincidental to their actual function.
