Detailed explanation-1: -To prevent the robbing of tombs, the Ancient Egyptians carved warnings and curses in the tombs. They also hid the burial chamber within the tomb and used various rubble to block up passages and chambers in the tombs. Sometimes, they were successful, and sometimes, they were not.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some pharaohs would leave words of a curse on their graves so that people would be afraid to steal from those tombs. One of the most famous curses found in a tomb was found in the tomb of King Tut. Most of the grave robbers would take things from the tomb almost right after a person was buried.
Detailed explanation-3: -Within the Great Pyramid of Giza (completed around 2560 BC), an Egyptian deterrent system was built to guard the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu. This system consists of blocks and grooves to protect the King’s Chamber from tomb robbers.
