The ancient tombs of Egyptian kings were pyramids. Egyptian pharaohs were first mummified, then put in a sarcophagus (a thing like a coffin) and then the more important pharaohs were buried in the center of the pyramids.

Mostly Tombs or Pyramids, as well as mortuary temples. Tombs were underground, Pyramids were above ground pyramids, and the mortuary temples contained the Pharaoh in a sarcophagus above ground as well.

The very early tombs are called mastabas
