Although Pyramids are a distinct symbol of Egypt, large-scale pyramidal construction is limited to a relatively short period in the Old Kingdom of Egyptian history. What would be some reasons for the modification of pyramid scale and institution of rock-cut tombs as seen at Beni Hasan? Evaluate the effectiveness of later architecture in communicating Egyptian and Pharonic power.

So as to limit the numbers of tomb raiders/thieves.

Explanation:

Please check the picture of Beni Hasan on google which is between the years 1850 - 1800 BC, you will see that the structures are in smaller scale unlike the normal large pyramid scale of Egypt. The main reason behind the building of the smaller scale structures is to make sure that thieves and tomb raiders are reduced. Also, many tribes and countries(including neighboring and foreign countries) also have their eyes on the great pyramids, so, what the Egyptians did was to build lower scale.

=> Evaluate the effectiveness of later architecture in communicating Egyptian and Pharonic power.

Well, the later architecture was not effective for a long time because the Hyksos later came to overthrow the Pharonic power in the area that have the pyramids and the reign of the Hyksos lasted for about two centuries before they were overthrown back too.
