Blocks were most likely transported to the top of pyramids using ramps made of mud, brick, or limestone. Workers would have used sledges and ropes to drag the blocks up these ramps from the quarry to the construction site. It is thought that multiple ramps may have been used to reach higher levels as the pyramid construction progressed.
There are no pyramids in the Valley of the Kings instead there are caves that had been dug out and expanded into the mountain. There are hundreds of tombs within the valley and they are still finding new ones.
No, Egyptian pyramids are not made of sand. They are primarily made of limestone blocks, with granite used for some of the inner chambers and casing stones. Sand may have been used in the construction process for leveling the base and as a construction material for mortar.
There are many theories regarding how the pyramids were built. The most likely explanation is that a giant ramp snaked around the pyramid and this allowed the blocks to be rolled up the slope. Alternatively, some people believe that the blocks were raised using a lever system. There are slightly more outlandish ideas which say that aliens brought cranes from space to lift the blocks, and recently, it has been suggested that the 2-ton blocks of stone were tied to kites and that the block were lifted in this manner.
There have not been any bodies, mummies,etc. found in any pyramid in egypt. They have been found near the pyramids, but never found inside, nor have any hyrogliphics been discovered.
No, no grains have been found inside the pyramids themselves. However, archaeological evidence shows that grains like wheat and barley were stored in granaries near the pyramids to feed the workers involved in their construction.
At the time there would have been no other way of building them.
what could have been some issues when building the pyramids?
i think it may have been the Egyptians, using them to help build the pyramids

sand stone blocks with a limestone cover, but today a lot of the limestone has been stolen so only the tips are shiny
Presumably to withstand powerful desert storms that might have been prevalent at the time in ancient Egypt.
In the past the Great pyramids where used to guard the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu's temple.

It is thought that ancient Goshen (where most of the Israelites were) was to the northeast of the pyramids. A distance of some 130 kilometers separates the two areas at the nearest point. However, much of Moses' youth was spent in Pharaoh's palace, which might have been closer to the pyramids.
Casing Blocks were laid on top of the main blocks used to build a pyramid. They were trimmed so the outer surface would be smooth and the same color. They are no longer used today, because pyramids are no longer being built.
There are a total of 138 pyramids in Egypt, and has been proven.
