Imagine living in Sakkarah, Egypt...

 

The necropolis at Sakkarah is the largest in Egypt.  In the middle is the funerary complex of Zoser, the pharoah who founded the IIIrd dynasty.  A mastaba (bench) is the burial chamber of the nobility and of court dignitaries and it is rectangular with slightly inclined walls.  Zoser was the first pharoah to entrust an architect, Imhotep, with the construction of a grandiose funerary complex.  Imhotep's invention consists of building a large mastaba and then over it he built a pyramid with four large steps.  The final step pyramid has six steps, 62 metres high.

Pyramid of Unas, south of the step pyramid, the last pharaoh of the Vth dynasty.  It was already ruined in 2000 B.C. but it contains a large part of the Pyramid Text.
