They were built to be used to house burial chambers. These chambers were linked by ascending and descending passages. The 3 great pyramids at Giza were for Kings, the smaller ones were for other less important mebers of the Royal Family

later, however, they realized that people (called grave robbers) were stealing the valuable things the great kings were buried with. The Egyptians believed that the deceased would need all of their riches and food and everything else in the happy, care free afterlife they believed in. If the stuff was taken away, they would not enjoy the afterlife so much. they started hiding the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. this did not stop the grave robbers though, but the graves were harder to spot than a huge pyramid in the middle of no where :P
