Answer 3

There were not any traps like that. Tomb security consisted of backfilling entrances and shafts with construction rubble, putting pits in the floor at key points, which also protected from flooding, and in the pyramids using massive blocking stones across passages.

The idea of "booby traps" is just Hollywood's idea of what an Egyptian tomb should be like.

Virtually all tombs were robbed, however, so the security was far from perfect.
