The Pyramid of Djoser, located in Saqqara, Egypt, is one of the most significant and well-preserved structures from ancient Egyptian civilization. Constructed during the 27th century BCE for the Pharaoh Djoser by his architect Imhotep, it is considered the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt and a precursor to the later pyramids of Giza. This step pyramid consists of six mastabas (rectangular structures) stacked on top of each other, creating a unique stepped appearance.
