Pyramid of Djoser

The Pyramid of Djoser, located in ancient Egypt, is considered the world’s first large stone pyramid and a groundbreaking tomb structure. Built around 2670 BCE for Pharaoh Djoser, it features a series of stacked mastabas (flat-topped tombs) that gradually increase in size, creating a stepped appearance. Designed by architect Imhotep, this pyramid marked a shift from traditional tombs to monumental stone structures, symbolizing the pharaoh’s divine status and spiritual journey. Its innovative design influenced subsequent pyramid construction, making it a significant milestone in architectural history.
