Tombs in Egyptian pyramids were typically located several meters below the surface. The burial chambers within the pyramids often ranged from about 10 to 30 feet (3 to 9 meters) deep, depending on the specific design of the pyramid. This depth helped protect the tombs from grave robbers and natural erosion. The layout and depth varied with different pyramids and dynasties.
