By the time of Cleopatra, most Egyptian pyramids were already thousands of years old. What did later Ancient Egyptians think or say about these relics of their even-more-ancient past?

by MarioTheMojoMan

Was knowledge about their construction and purpose mostly preserved, or was much of it lost to time? Were they considered important cultural heritage, odd curiosities, not remarked upon much at all, etc.?

By the way, the invocation of Cleopatra isn't meant to restrict the question simply to her reign -- I'm asking about later Ancient Egyptians generally.
