And this is assuming that Mamoun was the first to break in, which is far from certain. The earliest account IIRC came decades after the event and already contains conspicuously legendary elements.
The Great Pyramid was a conspicuous and tempting target and whoever broke in had a fairly good idea of where to look for the entrance.
