mastabas were flat-toped tombs built in Egypt before pyramids
The ancient tombs of Egyptian kings were pyramids. Egyptian pharaohs were first mummified, then put in a sarcophagus (a thing like a coffin) and then the more important pharaohs were buried in the center of the pyramids.

mastabas were flat-toped tombs built in Egypt before pyramids
Pyramids and mastabas are both ancient Egyptian architectural structures used for burials. However, pyramids are larger and grander in scale compared to mastabas. Pyramids are characterized by their triangular shape and were mainly built for pharaohs, while mastabas were rectangular and were used by nobles and high-ranking officials.
Egyptian pharaohs were buried in underground tombs, or later, in brick mastabas, and later still, in pyramids.
Nobody is very sure when the mastabas were made.... to be honest I need to find out for my project on Ancient Egypt, however they were definatley before the pyramids which most were built in about 2500-2800 B.C
Pyramids and mastabas are alike in that they were both the final resting places for the royalty and nobility of ancient Egypt. Mastabas were the first step toward the development of pyramids. The first step pyramids were several mastabas stacked on top of each other. Each level was slightly smaller then the first.

The early tomb for wealthy Egyptians was the mastaba, a flat-roofed, rectangular tomb with sloping sides. Mastabas were built above ground and served as the final resting place for wealthy individuals and nobility in ancient Egypt. Over time, mastabas evolved into more elaborate structures such as pyramids.
Mastabas continued to be used, however there were significantly fewer and these were made of poorer qualitymaterials and on a much smaller scale,
