Egyptologists typically do not dig up the pyramids themselves, as these structures are well-studied and protected due to their historical significance. Instead, they focus on excavating surrounding areas to uncover artifacts and sites related to the pyramids, such as burial grounds or ancient settlements. Their work often involves research, conservation, and analysis rather than extensive excavation of the pyramids.

Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, aligns with the Egyptian pyramids during the heliacal rising, which occurs roughly around July 19th in the modern calendar. This event was significant to the ancient Egyptians as it heralded the annual flooding of the Nile, which was crucial for their agriculture. The alignment of Sirius with the pyramids is often associated with the timing of various religious and agricultural events in ancient Egypt.
The Egyptians buried there dead in small sand dunes inside the desert. They still did this after pyramids for pyramids were only made for the wealthy. Also the pyramids were only made around the early ancient Egypt, and they switched over to chambers underneath the ground because of grave robbers.
