- mytailorisrich 5y agoSome smaller pyramids in areas where sand storms can move sand dunes were buried. These are special conditions. The pyramids of Giza were never buried and stood like they are now for thousands of years, like the Colosseum in Rome, for instance. They are much too tall. I'm no expert but the rate of new soil behind deposited and burying things has to be in the "few millimetres per year" range at most in general, so I would guess no more than a very small number of metres after 2,000 years.
