^ I seriously doubt there were any floods since Egypt recieved no rain since predynastic times. What likely did happen was erosion mainly from wind and sand. So yes, the pyramids did shrink somewhat but not that much.
As for the person who had the pyramids built or commision other than the rulers, I don't know. But I doubt he was buried with the rulers since the pyramids were solely built for them.
