The Djoser Pyramid, also known as the Step Pyramid, has a base that measures approximately 109 meters (about 358 feet) on each side. The top of the pyramid is relatively small compared to its base, measuring roughly 18 meters (about 59 feet) across. This design creates a tiered structure characteristic of early Egyptian pyramids.
The true pyramid, notably exemplified by the Great Pyramid of Giza, features smooth, angled sides that converge to a point at the top, symbolizing a ray of sunlight. In contrast, the step pyramid, such as the Step Pyramid of Djoser, consists of a series of stacked rectangular platforms, creating a tiered appearance. The construction techniques and architectural intentions also differ, with the step pyramid serving as an early form of monumental architecture and the true pyramid representing a more advanced engineering achievement. Overall, these differences highlight the evolution of pyramid design in ancient Egypt.
Depends on the pyramid. The step pyramid of Djoser has blocks weighing on average about 500kg. By the time of Khufu (2589-66 BCE) the average weigh of a stone used on his Great Pyramid was about 2,550kg ( approx. 2.55 metric tonnes, 2.5 long tons or 2.8 short tons)
The name of the flat top pyramid is called the ziggurat. They were not made by Egyptians however, they were made by the Mesopotamians.

Djoser was buried in his famous step pyramid at Saqqara.
Djoser
Pharaoh Djoser's is the oldest known pyramid.
Pyramid Of Djoser
Because it was built for the Pharaoh Djoser
The step pyramid
this pyramid is located in Egypt.
The pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser dates from about 2,630 B.C. and is a 'step pyramid'. The great Pyramid of Giza - Pharaoh Khufu - dates from about 2,550 B.C. and is a true pyramid, that is, smooth sided. The Pyramid of Djoser was Egypt's first pyramid.
The first pyramid in Egypt was the step pyramid of king Djoser, also known as Zoser. It was a step pyramid, consisting of mastabas placed on top of each other, and designed by his architect Imhotep.
Djoser's pyramid, known as the Step Pyramid, is not taller than Khufu's Great Pyramid. Djoser's pyramid stands at approximately 62 meters (203 feet) tall, while Khufu's Great Pyramid reaches about 146.6 meters (481 feet) originally, making it the tallest of the three pyramids at Giza. Therefore, Khufu's pyramid is significantly taller than Djoser's.
you put 2 rocks on top of each other and keep going
there were 6 mastabas stacked on top of eachother but i still dont no what they represent
