Because they builders were smart enough to know there was going to be grave robbers, so to confuse them.......... they built a fake chamber. And they were just really smart. so overall, stay in school...... and be smart like the egyptians

The pyramid itself is not underground but one of its three burial chambers is underground and carved into the bedrock.
The first step pyramid was thought to be built in Egypt by Imhotep. It was said to be used as a burial site for the Pharaoh Djoser.
KhufuThe largest pyramid was built by the Pharaoh, Khufu. It was a maze of passages, and the pharaoh built a fake chamber for the queen, which was never finished.
No, the pyramid of Khufu was built while Khufu was still alive. In fact, he built it. As an example, egyptologists believe that the queen's chamber (which was not meant for any of his wives) was originally built for Khufu, but he changed his mind and built something bigger for himself.
