But when did the process of building the pyramids start or when was the first pyramid built?
The answer is that the first Haram was built by Pharaoh Djoser which is about 4700 years old.
After that, Egyptian kings continued to build pyramids for more than a thousand years, and the last pyramid was built by Pharaoh Ahmose I 3,500 years ago.
Egyptian kings were then buried in underground tombs in the Wadi Maluk (or Valley of the Kings).
It can also be said that pyramids were built in ancient Egypt from 2700 BC to 1500 BC.
Egypt’s first pyramid
Pharaoh Djoser’s Haram was built in 6 layers.
Ancient documents indicate that a man named Imhotep built this pyramid.
According to experts, Imhotep was the first architect in Egypt who built a building with stones and he built Pharaoh Djoser’s Haram.
They said that the architect’s name is mentioned in the document along with Pharaoh Djoser, in which he is described as the head of the stone carvings.
So why were the pyramids built?
Researchers still do not know the answer to the question of why Egyptian kings chose the pyramids for their tombs.
One possible reason for this is that they wanted to protect their tombs from thieves and therefore built them quite high.
According to some experts, religious reasons may also be behind it.
Now, whatever the reason, the Egyptian kings built more than a thousand years of pyramids, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is among the ancient and present 7 wonders of the world.
The pyramid was built by Pharaoh Khufu who ruled Egypt from 2589 to 2566 BC.
Along with the construction of the pyramids, it is not clear why the Egyptian kings stopped their construction.
According to experts, this was done due to security concerns because despite all possible efforts, thieves easily looted the treasures from these tombs.
