    Makes sense if you think about it.

    Logistics is hard, even more so in ancient times when the only “bulk capacity” freight would be using ships. Unless the Egyptians had developed trains much before anybody else, transporting all the stone to the pyramids would have been difficult. And you’d also have to carry food or other supplies daily.
    Plus, if you’re going to the trouble of building a great tomb, why wouldn’t you want your ex-subjects to see it.

    Edit: see correction below
