What is the oldest pyramid in the Egypt?

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.

They even added the extra touch of trying to scare people away by placing "curses" on those who disturb them.
