The first pyramids, known as step pyramids, were designed as a progression of platforms to elevate the tombs of pharaohs closer to the heavens, symbolizing a connection to the divine. The stepped structure represented a stairway for the deceased to ascend to the afterlife. This architectural style, exemplified by the Pyramid of Djoser, also reflected the early stages of pyramid construction before the smooth-sided pyramids were developed. The steps provided both structural stability and a visually striking representation of the pharaoh's journey to immortality.
