Pyramids of 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.
