Burial chambers for pharaohs evolved significantly from simple pit graves to elaborate tombs as Egyptian civilization progressed. Initially, pharaohs were buried in mastabas—flat-roofed structures made of mudbrick. This evolved into the construction of step pyramids, such as those at Saqqara, and later the true pyramids, like the Great Pyramid of Giza, which featured complex interiors and advanced architectural techniques. By the New Kingdom, royal burials shifted to hidden tombs in the Valley of the Kings, emphasizing security and elaborate decorations to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife.
