No, mostly just pharaohs were buried in pyramids. Some pharaohs actually killed servants to take with them to the afterlife. Pharaohs paid the embalmer to mummify the servants. To the servants it would be a great honor to be mummified and be taken to the afterlife with their king.

Pharaoh's were the rulers of Ancient Egypt. There were either one or two Pharaohs in Egypt. * Lower Egypt- Wore a red crown. Area between Memphis and nothwards towards the Nile Delta. * Upper Egypt- Wore a white crown. Area between Memphis and southwards to Thebes. * Upper and Lower Egypt- Wore both the red and white crown. Covered all of Egypt. The Pharaohs decided what they wanted to have built such as pyramids or temples. They chose how they cared for their people and their slaves.
Why did the pharaohs want such big pyramids to be buried in?
Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs wanted such big Pyramids because it was a sign of their power. They wanted everyone to know what they could do. Pharaohs were recognized as Gods in Ancient Egypt. So when they had massive structures the pharaohs wanted them to last for eternity. When they built them they forced everyone to work on them. It was an honor to help build a pyramid. Not only was it forced but only the kings highest members of the family were able to bury the pharaoh. The Pharaohs were buried with gold and all the necessities needed to live in their after life. So pretty much because they can and it shows how powerful they are the more unique and the bigger the higher a pharaoh was believed to be.:)
What were the people of ancient Egypt like?
The rich, like the Pharaohs, were sometimes cruel and rude. The poor were grateful for what they had and they all loved jewelry.
