The stepped pyramid is a type of structure in ancient Egyptian architecture, characterized by stacked tiers that decrease in size as they rise. The funerary complex of Djoser, designed by architect Imhotep, is considered the earliest example of a stepped pyramid, located in Saqqara. The sham buildings within the complex served a symbolic or decorative function, representing structures the pharaoh would need in the afterlife.
