Best Answer

King Djoser built the Step Pyramid at Saqquara because tradition said he must work on his tomb till death. So he added consecutivley smaller mastabas on top of his first one ( and each other) and the resulting shape was a pyramid. This tomb sparked the epic age of pyramid building.

The first pyramid ever made was the Pyramid of Djoser (pronounced Zoser) in 2630BC for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser by his vizier Imhotep.
