I've read that pyramids (any pyramid shaped objects or building from the Great Pyramids to pyramids made of paper) have some strange power. For example, if you place fresh meat under it, it will not rot but dry out. Similarly, the Egyptian pharaohs' body has also been preserved for long centuries, and it is not only due to embalmment and other practices that the Egyptians used for preserving the bodies. Even water and food stays fresh if placed under a pyramid.
Also, it has been proven that pyramids can heal people and some sensitive people even feel a light breeze when they enter a pyramid. Why is that I wonder?
Tests have been made, and that is where they got the idea from, actually.

They don't. It's only rumor that persists, but any testing that has been done (under controlled conditions) hasn't shown any effect at all. Tests with food like you mentioned have been done, no effect. Nor has it been proven that pyramids can heal people. There are no documented cases where medical examination has shown this to be the case.

This is not true. It would be easy to experiment by putting a piece of meat under a pyramid shaped object and see if it rots. What do you think the result will be?
The whole pyramid thing comes from the 70s when some people came up with a way to market pyramid shaped sculptures by promoting them with some science-sounding logic. New age concepts were becoming very popular and a lot of people believed this stuff.
There is no science behind it, or any evidence to back the claims.
Egyptian kings were perserved through a process of removing internal organs, and significantly reducing the amount of exposure they had to bacterias that cause decay.

They don't. You can easily test it for yourself trying that meat thing. It didn't work for the Egyptians - they embalmed their dead. That's what preserved the corpses. The shape of a pyramid has no effect whatsoever on whether or not meat decays unless it's blocking air or something - then you can test it with other shapes and see the same result.

It has NOT been proven that pyramids can heal. I don't know who told you that, but it was a lie. If they want to prove it, this guy will give them a million bucks. http://www.randi.org

They don't have "power". The stone pyramids have architectural stability because the base is much wider than the top. The Egyptians also learned, through trial and error, to slope each layer of stone blocks slightly toward a lower center point in order to reduce the possibility that they might slump and fall outward.
Mummies and other food,etc., did not stay "fresh" (fresh means as if vegetables or fruit, etc., were picked or animals were butchered today; pyramids can not do that. Water will not stay "fresh" in Egypt since it evaporates; no records exist of water ever being found in an Egyptian tomb. They were dried with natron (a local natural salt mixture) and preserved by the very dry desert climate. Tombs have been well sealed from the outside atmosphere (which may have some moisture in it) and thus helped better preserve their organic contents (wood, mummies, etc.).
They are big and obviously very difficult to build, so their builders (the phaerohs) impressed their subjects with their (the phaerohs') power to get them built.
Since the stones are very heavy and the tunnels to the burial chambers were long and built with false branches and then sealed off, the builders reduced the possibility that the burial chambers would be looted. This was a major concern.
Pyramids do not "heal" people. Don't let anyone ****er you into "magical thinking". There are no supernatural "powers" in this - or any other - world.
