Pyramids served as monumental tombs for pharaohs, providing a grand resting place that symbolized their divine status and ensured their transition to the afterlife. Before their death, they were believed to be a means of securing their power and legacy, while after their passing, the pyramids were thought to protect their bodies and possessions, facilitating their journey into the afterlife.
