Because the pyramids were easy targets for grave robbers. The Egyptians started hiding their tombs in the Valley of the Kings so that no one could steal their mummies and their treasures buried with them. Their pyramids had traps and false passageways to fool grave robbers, but the grave robbers could still overcome such things.
