Who was the first person to build the Egypt pyramids?

The first person credited with building the pyramids in Egypt is Pharaoh Djoser, who commissioned the Step Pyramid at Saqqara around 2670 BCE during the Third Dynasty. This structure, designed by his architect Imhotep, marked a significant advancement in monumental architecture. While later pharaohs, such as Khufu, built the more famous pyramids at Giza, Djoser's pyramid represents the earliest large-scale stone construction in Egypt.
