The Step Pyramid of Djoser, an Architectural Revolution I SLICE HISTORY | FULL DOCUMENTARY
At the heart of Saqqara, the largest necropolis in Egypt, which was built around 2600 BC, is the Step Pyramid of Djoser. It is surrounded by a wall, covered in hieroglyphics which form a priceless book of the dead, the greatest body of texts in all humanity. This pyramid, with its unusual design, is the first and most complex of all.
Under Djoser's reign, there was a veritable architectural revolution with the construction of mankind's first high-reaching monument, built entirely of stone. Kilometres of secret galleries stretch out beneath Djoser. Their conception and building were an incredible technical accomplishment for the people of Egypt.

The Piramiyd of Pharaoh Djoser at Saqqara. The Djoser pyramid, the work of legendary architect Imhotep, is the oldest in Egypt, and bears witness to the first steps of architecture as a scholarly pursuit, as opposed to simple construction.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser Re-Opens + New Pictures From Inside | Ancient Architects
The restoration of the Step Pyramid of Djoser began back in 2006 and now, 14 years later, what experts say is the oldest major pyramid in Egypt has finally re-opened to the public. At the end of this video, I’ll show you a gallery of new images from the pyramid so you can see just how it looks today.
Thought to be around 4,700 years old, the pyramid is almost 200 feet high, dominating the Saqqara necropolis south of Cairo. It has a bizarre, unique and interesting internal layout, and inside and out it is very different to the three famous pyramids of Giza.
Talking to the media, Antiquities and Tourism Minister Khaled el-Enany said: “It is the first building in the world made entirely of stone.”
Problems with the pyramid’s safety began in 1992 after a powerful earthquake rocked Egypt. In...

The Architect King: Djoser and the Dawn of Pyramid Power
Djoser, also known as Netjerikhet, was a significant Pharaoh in ancient Egypt for a couple of reasons:
Founder and Innovator: He is credited as the founder of the 3rd Dynasty, marking a new era in Egyptian history (around 2650 BCE) [1]. Djoser's reign was known for innovation, especially in architecture.
The Step Pyramid: Djoser's most famous accomplishment is the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, the very first pyramid ever built [2]. This groundbreaking structure, designed by his brilliant architect Imhotep, revolutionized funerary architecture, paving the way for the iconic smooth pyramids of later dynasties. The Step Pyramid's design, with its stacked layers rising to a point, is thought to symbolize a stairway to the heavens for the Pharaoh's afterlife journey [4].

Archaeologists Discover What is Inside Pyramid of Djoser
The Great Giza Pyramids are usually the ones that get all the attention in Egypt. But ten miles south of the Great Pyramids, lies a majestic limestone structure in the heart of the Pyramid Complex of Saqqara, which in some ways, is considerably more significant than any of those at Giza. This pyramid stands as one of the most renowned archaeological sites in the world.
It’s quite impressive. Not only for its looming size and intriguing shape – but also its backstory.
Welcome to Crunch. Today we will be having a look at the birthplace of the Pyramid Era, going all the way to its core.

The restoration of the Step Pyramid of Djoser began back in 2006 and now, 14 years later, what experts say is the oldest major pyramid in Egypt has finally re-opened to the public. At the end of this video, I’ll show you a gallery of new images from the pyramid so you can see just how it looks today.
Thought to be around 4,700 years old, the pyramid is almost 200 feet high, dominating the Saqqara necropolis south of Cairo. It has a bizarre, unique and interesting internal layout, and inside and out it is very different to the three famous pyramids of Giza.
Talking to the media, Antiquities and Tourism Minister Khaled el-Enany said: “It is the first building in the world made entirely of stone.”
Problems with the pyramid’s safety began in 1992 after a powerful earthquake rocked Egypt. In total, the pyramid renovations cost more than 104 million Egyptian pounds, which is around $6.6 million.
Thursday’s opening ceremony was attended by the Egyptian Prime Minister, Mostafa Madbouli, who said: “We are working hard to build a new Egypt… and the restoration of our heritage is at the top of our priorities.”
Restoration work was halted in 2011 and 2012 because of security reasons, and recommenced in 2013. But the following year, the Egyptian media reported that the Djoser pyramid had been damaged during restoration work, with some saying that the pyramid’s original façade had been altered. At the time there was criticism from UNESCO, but they have now given the project a positive report.
Egypt has revealed many exciting new discoveries in recent years, most of which I have covered on Ancient Architects, and together with the re-opening of the Step Pyramid, authorities are hoping that tourism will continue to increase.
And of course, the pyramid opening comes ahead of the opening of the new Grand Egyptian Museum, the centrepiece of Egypt’s tourism push, which is set to open at the end of the year.

Djoser, also known as Netjerikhet, was a significant Pharaoh in ancient Egypt for a couple of reasons:
Founder and Innovator: He is credited as the founder of the 3rd Dynasty, marking a new era in Egyptian history (around 2650 BCE) [1]. Djoser's reign was known for innovation, especially in architecture.
The Step Pyramid: Djoser's most famous accomplishment is the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, the very first pyramid ever built [2]. This groundbreaking structure, designed by his brilliant architect Imhotep, revolutionized funerary architecture, paving the way for the iconic smooth pyramids of later dynasties. The Step Pyramid's design, with its stacked layers rising to a point, is thought to symbolize a stairway to the heavens for the Pharaoh's afterlife journey [4].
Beyond Pyramids: Djoser wasn't just about pyramids. He's also credited with establishing Memphis as a permanent capital and expanding Egypt's borders [3]. Some legends even claim he saved Egypt from a famine by rebuilding a temple to the Nile god [1].
Here are some additional interesting points about Djoser:
The Mystery of Succession: There's some debate about who Djoser succeeded. While most sources list him as the direct successor to the previous dynasty, some evidence suggests another Pharaoh might have ruled briefly in between [2].
The Imhotep Enigma: Djoser's architect, Imhotep, was such a genius that he became revered as a god in later periods. This highlights the importance placed on innovation and knowledge during Djoser's reign [2].
Djoser's legacy lies in his pioneering spirit. He ushered in a new era of monumental architecture and political stability, leaving behind a lasting impact on Egyptian civilization.
