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.
The stepped Pyramid of Djoser was built as a series of six mastabas, or flat-roofed rectangular structures, stacked on top of one another to create a stepped effect. It was constructed using limestone and had a height of about 200 feet (60 meters). Over time, it was eventually enclosed within a larger pyramid complex.
A causeway in an Egyptian pyramid is a long narrow path or walkway that connected the pyramid with a valley temple or a mortuary temple. It was used for processions, rituals, and ceremonies related to the funerary practices of the pharaohs.
The final pyramid in Egypt, the Pyramid of Menkaure, was built around 2510 BC as part of the Giza pyramid complex during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
The smallest pyramid in the world is the Pyramid of Menkaure located in Egypt. It is the smallest of the three main pyramids at the Giza complex, standing at 65 meters tall.
The Pyramid of Khafra (also known as Chephren) is located on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, near Cairo. It is the second-largest pyramid in Giza and is part of the complex that includes the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) and the Pyramid of Menkaure.
