Best Answer

The pyramids were built as a tomb for the pharaoh and his/her family.

The pyramids were shaped as a pyramid because it pointed to the sky and to Aryans belt (the three Star's three kings)). The sky was where the afterlife was so the pyramid pointed to it also the pyramid also mirrored the stars because they believed that the stars were gods from the heavens above.

The pyramids was a place for the pharaoh to travel to the afterlife.
