Egyptian Pyramids: are
ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt. There are
138 pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008. Most were built as tombs
for the country's Pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle
Kingdom periods. The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at
Saqqara, northwest of Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid
of Djoser (constructed 2630 BCE–2611 BCE) which was built during the
third dynasty. This pyramid and its surrounding complex were designed by
the architect Imhotep, and are generally considered to be the world's
oldest monumental structures constructed of dressed masonry.
