Possibly, if there are crypts that have not yet been discovered.

Did the pyramids have booby traps?

Yes!!! Every pryamid has booby traps such as: Rocks falling on an intruder, curses (Stuff like: If you enter my tomb you will die a slow and painful death), wire traps, hidden doors collapsing on an intruder, being stuck in a room with no doors, food, or supplies. If you're planning on visiting the great pyramids of Egypt, dont go in the pyramids (unless its safe). I doubt they'd let you go into one but it's a tricky, hard thing to do. Just so you know, no one has intruded the pyramids in thousands of years so... yeah... Haha! Good luck!
