Remember that the local farmers are probably a bit concerned that if the pyramids become some kind of protected park area then they'll lose access to those fields for crops - so it's kinda understandable.
We have the same sort of thing here on a different scale - the MoD would much rather archaeologists didn't keep finding spectacular things on the Plain.
"Hey, there's ancient field system with a possible undisturbed settlement at the top of the combe."
[FX: lots of loud noises]
"Field system? What field system? Nah, it's just an impact area and those are tank tracks"
