Why were pyramids and mummies only in egypt and nowhere else?

Question

I mean you never heard of pyramids in Ireland or France or Spain but only in Egypt. I was always curious.

Answer 1

There were pyramids south of the border. Yes, Mexico has them. Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, etc.

There were also mummies south of the border. A different technique of mummification was used. Peru, the Andes.

Your question is still a good one though. It is safe to say that the ancient civilization of Egypt was far more interesting than most other places in the world.

I have seen the mummy of Ramses. He had red hair!
