How many people were buried in the Great Pyramid?

No mummy has ever been officially discovered in a Pyramid. There are separate buildings that house mummies and these are called mastabas. And the Pharaohs were buried mostly in special places like the valley of the kings which is in the Egyptian dessert. It is only a theory that the pyramids have anything to do with the afterlife or burial. We do not know what the Pyramids were built for.
