Historical landmark
Step Pyramid of Djoser
Badrshein, Giza Governorate 3352001
Six stacked stone tiers rising from Egypt's oldest pyramid complex, ringed by tunnels lined with blue faience tile.
This guide to the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara centers on Imhotep, the architect who reinvented Egyptian burial for his king by stacking six mastaba tombs into stone around 2670 BCE, becoming the first pyramid anyone had built. It follows the nearly six kilometers of tunnels beneath the site, lined with blue faience tile, and the honor Djoser broke tradition to grant his commoner architect. It ends with a question archaeologists still can't answer: where Imhotep himself was buried.
