Pyramid of Djoser

　　When talking about Egypt, one cannot ignore the Egyptian pyramids. The pyramids we usually see are ordinary conical structures, but Egypt has hundreds of pyramids that share the same general shape yet differ in details. The pyramids in Giza are the most famous due to their massive scale. Speaking of the Giza pyramids, a visit to the Pyramid of Djoser is a must.

　　The Pyramid of Djoser is also known as the "Step Pyramid." It is located in Saqqara, Giza Governorate, and was built between 2630 and 2611 BCE. Designed and constructed under the orders of Pharaoh Djoser by his vizier Imhotep, it is Egypt's first pyramid and served as the tomb of Pharaoh Djoser of the Third Dynasty. It is the world's first pyramid to feature six stacked mastabas and is renowned worldwide, attracting visitors from all over. Although not the most famous pyramid in Egypt, the Pyramid of Djoser is the oldest and earliest, considered the progenitor of Egyptian pyramids. Its six-tiered stepped structure earned it the name "Step Pyramid." Standing 62 meters tall, with a base stretching 125 meters from east to west and 109 meters from north to south, its grand scale showcases the boundless wisdom of its designers.
