What did pyramids mean to ancient egyptians?
The Pyramids never represented hope, strictly speaking, nor we they tombs for pharaoh. The reason we know this is because not one pharaoh has even been discovered in the pyramid. This is a chronological theory that originated around the 17th century through Explorers that were funded by European Royalty to satisfy the Dogmas of The Religious Orthodoxies.
The fact is that most pharaohs were all unearthed in The Valley of the Kings some 300 miles to the south of the Great Pyramids.
Pyramids, historically have always represents the trinity in all things, because all creation happen in triplicity. It is a very intricate and detailed discussion as to why, but that is why triangles have had special veneration.
The word pyramid itself means fire in the middle. Pyra / o = fire & mid = middle, i.e. fire in the middle. It doesn't mean fire in the gross from that we see it in the world, but rather the subtle fiery generation located in all things phenomenal, that is the 'life force' of the cosmos. There is really ALOT more to say about Pyramids, but that kind of the jist. Hope that helps a litte.

Why were ancient Egyptian pharaohs cruel?
In the days before modern media and communications I supect the Pharaoh had little idea of how many of his people faired. On the other hand there is little evidence to support the idea that he went out his way to ill treat them. Building temples may seem an odd way of caring for his people but it kept them in favour with the gods and provided employment for thousands of his subjects. There was the Nilometer which measured the level of the inundation and a reporting system so that the people would know when to plant and how good the harvest would be. In years when the inundation failed a system of famine relief was put into action.
