In the case of the first true pyramid (The Red Pyramid at Dahshur), several layers of fine white limestone were laid to create a stable foundation. Earlier, the pyramid of Sneferu (4th dynasty) was built without proper foundations and it began to collapse during construction - it is known today as the Bent Pyramid.
In many cases the pyramids were constructed on solid limestone bedrock and needed no additional foundation (apart from levelling the site). This bedrock is today covered in deep sand, giving the false impression that the pyramids are floating on sand.
