The first pyramid was the stepped pyramid of Zoser. It can be seen in Saqqara, Egypt. It was built c.4770 years ago. The first smooth-faced pyramid was built for Snefru in c. 2620BC.
A stepped pyramid was built, then rough limestone facing stones were added, then the facing stones were carefully chiseled to form smooth faces.
The oldest Egyptian pyramid is the Pyramid of Djoser. It was built in the 3rd Dynasty - planned by Imhotep as a solution to previous Pharaoh burial sites being robbed by thieves. Pyramids would offer better protection to the dead Pharaohs as they had a maze-like structure, dead-ends, booby traps and secret rooms. They even added the extra touch of trying to scare people away by placing "curses" on those who disturb them.

The stepped Pyramid of Djoser was built as a series of six mastabas, or flat-roofed rectangular structures, stacked on top of one another to create a stepped effect. It was constructed using limestone and had a height of about 200 feet (60 meters). Over time, it was eventually enclosed within a larger pyramid complex.

The Pyramid of Hellinikon is the largest acropolis in Greece and is sometimes referred to as the "Greek Pyramid". However, it is not a true pyramid but rather a stepped structure built by the Hellenistic civilization.
It is. All sides of a geometric pyramid are flat - even stepped pyramids.
