What are the differences between true pyramids and step pyramids?
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.

it is possible that your jealousy means that you have changed your mind about wanting to date this boy.... but the jealousy could also revolve around your wanting the boy to like you and only you. If the latter is the case, you will have to learn to find assurance on your own. just because the boy likes another girl now, doesnt mean you arent still lovable. Definitely. Happens all the time. Avoid the two of them together for a while then you'll either a) get over it. You'll always feel a bit weird about it but never mind or b) they'll break up and you can enjoy it. If you're still interested keep your distance until the guy is well over his ex. ;)
