Egyptian Pyramids
Egyptian Pyramids When most people think of Ancient Egypt they think of Pyramids.

The oldest pyramid, the Step-Pyramids, grow out of the abilities of two men, King Djoser and Imhotep. Djoser, the second king of 3rd dynasty, was the first king to have hired an architect, Imhotep, to design a tomb (Time-Life Books, 74).
