The primary purpose of the pyramids in ancient Egypt was to serve as tombs for pharaohs. They were built as grand burial structures to honor and protect the pharaohs in the afterlife. The pyramids reflected the Egyptians' beliefs about death and the afterlife, ensuring that the deceased would be well-preserved and provided for in the world beyond.
