Pharaohs had absolute rule over their kingdom in both politics and religion. They were considered gods on Earth. Their were responsible for maintaining universal harmony. For this reason they owned all the land, made all the laws, and collected all the taxes. They also used force and warfare to accomplish any goal they deemed necessary outside of Egypt.

Why did the pharaohs want such big pyramids to be buried in?

Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs wanted such big Pyramids because it was a sign of their power. They wanted everyone to know what they could do. Pharaohs were recognized as Gods in Ancient Egypt. So when they had massive structures the pharaohs wanted them to last for eternity. When they built them they forced everyone to work on them. It was an honor to help build a pyramid. Not only was it forced but only the kings highest members of the family were able to bury the pharaoh. The Pharaohs were buried with gold and all the necessities needed to live in their after life. So pretty much because they can and it shows how powerful they are the more unique and the bigger the higher a pharaoh was believed to be.:)
