Pyramid of Djoser

The Step Pyramid at Saqqara is one of the earliest Egyptian pyramids. It was built in the 27th century BC during the 3rd Dynasty for the burial of king Djoser. The 6-tier, 4-sided structure is the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt, most Egyptologists attribute Djoser’s vizier Imhotep with the design and construction of the complex.
