Limestone is an insulator, not a conductor.
Giza gets about 1 inch of rain a year.
Tomb robbery (and priests shuffling mummies to more secure locations along with known evidence (from ancient Egyptian trial records) of thieves burning mummies -- AND poor mummification techniques (mostly bones until you get to the New Kingdom) accounts for it.
