The step pyramids were like practice pyramids. They were getting the engineering down and the "how to". I doubt that without them they would have been able to engineer the Great Pyramid.
There are 2 different types of pyramids: the step pyramid, and the true pyramid.
Step pyramids served as royal tombs in ancient Egypt, with the most famous example being the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara. These pyramids were characterized by stacked layers or steps, which symbolized the sun's rays reaching towards the heavens. Step pyramids represented an early form of pyramid construction before the more familiar smooth-sided pyramids, such as those at Giza, were developed.
