Unclear on exactly what you are asking here because I'm not sure if you didn't mean to ask "When" instead of what. Imhotep was the first builder of a pyramid for his Pharaoh Djoser/Zoser (spelling varies) ca 2630–2611 BCE. He began building what was to have been the largest mastaba, from the word meaning bench due to there long flat rectangular single story appearance with little to no exterior decoration, which had been the previous burial chambers of the earliest Pharaohs but he just kept adding smaller mastabas on top of the first creating what we know as the Step Pyramid and the first Pyramid.

What gives the renal pyramids their striped appearance?

Renal pyramids (or malpighian pyramids) are cone-shaped tissues of the kidney. The renal medulla is made up of 7 to 18 of these conical subdivisions (usually 7 in humans). The broad base of each pyramid faces the renal cortex, and its apex, or papilla, points internally. The pyramids appear striped because they are formed by straight parallel segments of nephrons.


What color were the first Egyptian pyramids?

The first Egyptian pyramids were originally covered in smooth white Tura limestone, giving them a bright appearance. Over time, the limestone eroded or was removed, leaving the core stones of the pyramids visible, which are a brownish color due to the local sandstone used in construction.


How have the pyramids been affected by erosion over time?

The pyramids have been affected by erosion over time due to natural elements like wind, sand, and water wearing down the outer layers of the stones. This erosion has caused the pyramids to lose some of their original smoothness and sharp edges, leading to a weathered appearance.
