Zoser's step pyramid |
|
King Zoser's main architect Imhotep got a
bright idea some time in the 27th century BCE. Why
not repeat the tomb structure of earlier times,
until it reached a summit? What better way of
impressing the gods.
The old style tomb was the mastaba, a rectangular
massive structure rising up from the ground
anything between a few metres and up to 10.
