Step pyramid

Location:

Giza - 20 km from Giza Pyramids .

Who built it?

This complex was designed by the architect Imhotep for his master Zoser , the founder of the third dynasty . Manetheo recorded that this king ruled for 29 years.

Why was it built ?

The Step Pyramid was built as the ancient Egyptians believe in resurrection. Zoser was buried in this pyramid according to the ancient Egyptian concept of life after death.

Explanation:

The step Pyramid of Sakkara is considered as an evolution in the concept of pyramids, from the simple mastaba to the pyramids in its final form in the region in Sakkara. It was built as step pyramid, its height is 60 meters and consists of 6 steps on top of each other, each is smaller than the one below.

The step pyramid is entirely built of limestone. They used small bricks of limestone, yes it is not the best quality of stone but it remained for more than 4700 years.
