A step pyramid (in Egypt at least) was the next step after Mastaba, or 'bench' tombs. A step pyramid is basically a set of mastaba tombs set atop each other. There are several examples of this type in Sakharra Egypt. The exterior would be covered with to make the faces smooth but the design did not hold up well.
'True' pyramids use more steps, allowing solid limestone blocks to be used for facing. These held up much better to exposure. Alas, most of the limestone casing of the Great Pyramids was stripped for construction of Mosques and other buildings over several hundred years.
Step pyramids were one of the first pyramids ever built while true pyramids were just an improvement. Only one step pyramid was ever built while there are several true pyramids throughout Egypt and the Valley of the Kings.

Is it True Royal wives were allowed to have tombs near the pharaohs' pyramids?
Yes, and a lot of them had their own pyramids. There are huge amounts of temples and burials around pyramids. Whole families are buried there. All the royals were buried near the pyramids (if their pharaoh-husband built pyramids).

What are the different types of pyramids?
There are about three types of pyramids in Ancient Egypt: "True" pyramid- The typical pyramid, with smooth sides and hard edges(the pyramids you would imagine) Bent pyramid- Very smooth and has curved sides(obviously looks bent!) Stepped Pyramid- Has many steps to the top(it's a STEP pyramid!)
What are the differences between the true pyramid and the step pyramid?
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.
