The pyramids date from between 2500 to 2700 BC, more than 4500 years ago. Developed from the blocky mastaba of earlier pharaohs, the earliest may be the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, dating from around 2650 BC. The Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is thought to have been built about 100 years later, in 2540 BC. There are about 138 pyramids of various sizes still visible in various locations in Egypt.
