I'm sure people probably starved because of the money that the pharaohs spent on their construction, and there's really no way to justify that, but if they hadn't built them Egypt would just be some other country in the Middle East. But with them and their mummies they've fired the imaginations of countless generations. Would you really give that up? The royals may not be that cool, but still, I think they're worth having around for the novelty factor if nothing else.
I'm not saying you are wrong but when they built the pyraminds they supplied a type of ancient beer (or mead) and bread to the workers...at least the workers didn't starved. And mummies are more likely to be found in the Valley of the Kings than under a pyramid... durp
