the great pyramids of giza
That would be the Step Pyramid. It was created by the architect Imhotep. According to Egyptian lore, he became a deity when he died because of his great contribution to Egyptian architecture.
The Great Pyramid in Egypt is listed as one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Construction started on the pyramid in 2540 B.C.
The earliest known pyramid has been dated back to 4621 years ago during the Holocene Epoch (11,700 years to Now) in the Quaternary Period (2,588,000 years to now).
Unlike the Egyptians, the Sumerians did not build pyramids, instead they built Ziggurats. These Ziggurats were huge structures, made of brick and comparable in size to a pyramid. In appearance they resembled a step pyramid. But they were not tombs, these were temples, sometimes with terraces planted with trees, scrubs and flowers. Similar in use to pyramid temples in the Americas.
Unlike a tetrahedron (a four-faced shape with all triangular faces), a pyramid has a square (or rhomboid) base and triangular sides. Thus, a view from any side will yield a triangular appearance, while a view from below or above shows a square or rectangular shape.
