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 Great Pyramid of Giza contained three chambers and a burial chamber. In the pharaoh Khufu's burial chamber, archaeologists found a sarcophagus and various artifacts, but no treasure as such. The number of bodies discovered in the pyramid is estimated to be only one - Pharaoh Khufu himself.
In a pyramid, the treasury or burial chamber is typically located deep within the structure, often at the heart or base of the pyramid. For example, in the Great Pyramid of Giza, the King's Chamber, which served as the burial site for Pharaoh Khufu, is situated about two-thirds of the way up the pyramid. This central placement was intended to protect the pharaoh's remains and treasures from robbers and the elements.
The Queen's Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza is misleading because it was never intended to be a burial site for a queen. Instead, it is believed to have served a different purpose, possibly related to the pyramid's construction or as a symbolic space for the pharaoh's journey to the afterlife. Furthermore, no queen's remains were found there, and the chamber lacks the elaborate burial equipment typically associated with royal tombs.
There are three burial chambers - one underground and carved into the bedrock. Then one aboveground originally named the queen's chamber. Finally the king's chamber which held a red granite sarcophagus placed virtually at the centre of the pyramid.
Yes, it is the Pyramid of Khufu.
the pyramid was desinged by king kufu as a burial tomb for himself for when he died.
The pyramids of Giza were built by slaves. They were made for their Pharaohs and the Pharaohs decided that they wanted them built in their honour.The 3 Pyramids in Giza are:The Pyramid of Menkaura~ Made of limestone with a granite burial chamber; Built around 2490 BC; 213 feet in height. In honour of Pharaoh Menkaura.The Pyramid of Khaefra~ Made of limestone with a granite burial chamber; Built around 2520 BC; 471 feet ion height. In honour of Pharaoh Khaefra.The Great Pyramid of Khufu~ Made of limestone with a granite burial chamber; Built around 2550 BC; 481 feet in height. In honour of Pharaoh Khufu.
The great pyramid of Giza was built for the pharaoh Khufu and he was buried in the "King's Chamber" after his death.
the Great Pyramid itself contains no pharaoh's body, no treasure chamber, and no treasures.
Khufu included a queen's chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza likely for both symbolic and practical reasons. It was customary for Egyptian pharaohs to honor their queens and ensure their spiritual presence in the afterlife. The chamber may have served as a space for the queen's burial or as a symbolic representation of the queen's role alongside the pharaoh in the afterlife. Additionally, the intricate design and layout of the pyramid were intended to reflect the pharaoh's power and divine status.
No one technically lived in the great pyramid, because pyramids were built as burial tombs. the pyramid of Giza was built for king Khufu (his second name is Cheops).
