As we turn the pages of history and unfold the truth of Egypt pyramids, we come across some monuments which holds significant place. This holds true with the Step Pyramid which is considered as the pioneer of the later pyramids which involved stones in its construction.
The earlier tombs of the pharaohs were made of sun dried bricks with not so impressive structures and after a certain period crumbled to dust. Step pyramid is the first pyramid to be built entirely of stone in Egypt and in the whole world.
The Step Pyramid at Saqqara was built for the major ruler of third dynasty Djoser and designed by Imhotep who was considered to be the skilled architect. The pyramid has internal passageway and chambers with the most complex underground layout.
The underground layout consisted of burial chamber surrounded by galleries. The chamber was made of granite blocks which was literally shrouded with the several tunnels. But still it was plundered and looted of with all its belongings leaving just the left foot of the mummy for the archaeologists.
