The Pyramid of The Pharaoh Djoser Saqqara
Description
The pyramid of King Djoser at Saqqara in Egypt was built in 2700 BC by Imhotep, the legendary inventor of dressed stone construction. This first stepped pyramid is considered the earliest large-scale cut stone construction. From 1926 to 2001, the French architect and Egyptologist Jean-Phillipe Lauer excavated and reconstructed key sections of the surrounding complex that imitated in stone the Pharoah's Palace in Memphis.
