In 2650 B.C., during the Third Dynasty of ancient Egypt, the Step Pyramid of Djoser was constructed at Saqqara. Designed by the architect Imhotep, it is considered one of the earliest monumental stone buildings and marked a significant advancement in architectural techniques. The Step Pyramid served as a tomb for Pharaoh Djoser and symbolizes the evolution of pyramid construction that would later culminate in the smooth-sided pyramids of the Fourth Dynasty.
