All of Egypt's pyramids are sited on the west bank of the Nile and most are grouped together in a number of pyramid fields.
The German Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius (1810-84) produced the first modern list of pyramids in 1842. He identified 67. A great many more have since been discovered, in November 2008 118 pyramids had been identified. The location of Pyramid 29 for example, the so-called "Headless Pyramid", was lost for a second time when the structure was buried by desert sands subsequent to Lepsius' survey. It was only rediscovered again during an archaeological dig conducted in 2008.
Many pyramids are in a poor state of preservation or buried by desert sands. If visible at all they may appear as little more than mounds of rubble. As archaeological techniques improve Egyptologists are continuing to identify and study previously unknown pyramid structures.
The most recent pyramid to be discovered is that of Queen Sesheshet, mother of 6th Dynasty Pharaoh Teti, located at Saqqara. The discovery was announced by the Egyptian Council of Antiquities, on 11 November 2008.

Where the pyramids of Egypt carved out of red sandstone?
Much of what remains of ancient Egypt consists of stone. There are building stones for temples, pyramids, and tombs; ornamental stones for vessels, sarcophagi, shrines, steal, statues, and other sculptures. Limestone and sandstone were the main building stones of ancient Egypt. From Early Dynastic times onward, limestone was the material of choice for pyramids, mastaba tombs, and temples within the limestone region. The Red Pyramid was not always red. It used to be cased with white Tura limestone, but only a few of these stones now remain at the pyramid's base, at the corner. During the Middle Ages much of the white Tura limestone was taken for buildings in Cairo, revealing the durable reddish granite stone beneath. It is the only one build with those.

Great Pyramid of KhufuSee the largest pyramid ever built, the Pyramid of Khufu, in Cairo, Egypt. Standing 481 feet tall, approximately 2.3 million stone blocks that each weigh between 2.5 and 15 tons form the pyramid. The Egyptian pharaoh, Khufu, raised the memorial pyramid around 2550 B.C. According to the National Geographic, the Pyramid of Khufu on the Giza Plateau includes three burial chambers. One chamber is carved from the bedrock beneath the pyramid, while the king's chamber is accessible through the Grand Gallery and is home to a sarcophagus made from red granite nestled at the pyramid's center. Access to the king's chamber was protected from thieves through the use of sliding granite that blocks entryways. Visitors are welcome to enter and explore the pyramid by way of corridors to the interior chambers.Nobody is very sure when the mastabas were made.... to be honest I need to find out for my project on Ancient Egypt, however they were definatley before the pyramids which most were built in about 2500-2800 B.C

The Egyptians settled around a large river called the Nile river with a fertile delta, though Egypt mostly consisted of deserts. However, the sands near the delta were more fertile due to the river's mud depositing near there.

There are some smaller pyramids near the city Xian Two further pyramids in that area of the province Shaanxi. Check out Google earth for these other intense pyramid like formations:
