The very first pyramids were made of silt. The silt would come down from the upper Nile and the Africans would scoup up the silt and pour it into pyramid shapes. Mud-brick pyramids came after the silt Pyramids. The pyramid at Saqqara was engineered by the great African multi-genius by the name of Imhotep for his Pharoh Djoser in the 3rd dynasty. It is also known as the "Step-Pyramid" because it looks like stairs. It is the worlds first known stone structure and it is still standing today. The Africans built the Pyramids on the Giza plateau (such as the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Kafra, and Menkora would come later.
