Why did the egyptians build grea pyramids for their kings?

They were built to be used to house burial chambers. These chambers were linked by ascending and descending passages. The 3 great pyramids at Giza were for Kings, the smaller ones were for other less important mebers of the Royal Family later, however, they realized that people (called grave robbers) were stealing the valuable things the great kings were buried with. The Egyptians believed that the deceased would need all of their riches and food and everything else in the happy, care free afterlife they believed in. If the stuff was taken away, they would not enjoy the afterlife so much. they started hiding the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. this did not stop the grave robbers though, but the graves were harder to spot than a huge pyramid in the middle of no where :P

Are Ancient Egyptians smart?

Many people today confuse intelligence with technology - "the ancient Egyptians had no electricity, computers, heavy machinery or plastics, therefore they must have been less intelligent than we are today". In fact the reverse is true. It takes massive intelligence to organise building programmes such as those undertaken in ancient Egypt using very rudimentary technology; nobody else has ever constructed a temple complex like that of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, or that of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel, or the Great pyramids of Giza. The organisation, planning, infrastructure and support services for these projects and very many more indicate that the ancient Egyptians were exactly as intelligent as we are today - perhaps more so. We rely so much on time saving devices, electronic gadgets and electronic entertainment that we have no motivation to use our intelligence wisely.
