It was constructed during the 27th century BCE for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser by his architect, Imhotep. This pyramid is renowned for being the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt and marks a pivotal development in ancient Egyptian pyramid construction. Unlike the later smooth-sided pyramids, the Step Pyramid consists of six mastabas (rectangular structures) stacked upon one another, creating its distinctive stepped appearance. It is part of a larger mortuary complex that includes courtyards, temples, and shrines, highlighting the sophistication and architectural innovation of the period.

  • Pyramids of Dahshour
    Dahshur[transliteration ] (in English often called Dashur; Arabic: دهشور Dahšūr pronounced [dɑhˈʃuːɾ], Coptic: ⲧⲁϩϭⲟⲩⲣ Dahchur) is an ancient Egyptian pyramid complex and necropolis and shares the name of the nearby village of Manshiyyat Dahshur (Arabic: منشأة دهشور) in markaz Badrashin, Giza. Dahshur is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is located on the Western Desert plateau at the edge of the cultivated plain, and along with the pyramid complexes at Saqqara, Abusir, and Giza, to its north, forms the pyramid fields of the ancient capital city of Memphis. It is known chiefly for several pyramids, mainly Senefru's Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, which are among the oldest, largest and best preserved in Egypt, built from 2613 to 2589 BC.
  • Pyramid of Teti
    The Pyramid of Teti at Saqqara is the burial place of Pharaoh Teti, the first ruler of Egypt's Sixth Dynasty (circa 2345–2323 BCE). This pyramid, though smaller and less imposing than some of its predecessors, is significant for its historical and architectural features. Inside, it contains a series of passages and chambers adorned with Pyramid Texts, the oldest known religious texts in the world, which were meant to guide the pharaoh in the afterlife. The pyramid is part of a larger mortuary complex, including a temple and subsidiary pyramids, which offer insights into the funerary practices and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt during this period.
  • Pyramid of Unas
    Unas built his pyramid between the complexes of Sekhemket and Djoser, in North Saqqara. Anchored to the valley temple at a nearby lake, a long causeway was constructed to provide access to the pyramid site.
