Pyramid of Djoser

The Pyramid of Djoser, sometimes called the Step Pyramid of Djoser or Step Pyramid of Horus Netjerikhet, is an archaeological site in the Saqqara necropolis, Egypt [1]. It was the first Egyptian pyramid to be built [1]. The pyramid is the central feature of a vast mortuary complex in an enormous courtyard surrounded by ceremonial structures and decoration [1]. The pyramid went through several revisions and redevelopments of the original plan [1]. The pyramid originally stood 62.5 m tall, with a base of 109 m × 121 m and was clad in polished white limestone [1]. The complex was a landmark achievement for Egyptian architecture [1].
