The step pyramid that Imhotep was set to do wasn't like the ordinary pyramids in many ways one the blocks used to build the pyramid were not the standard issue sun-dried mud blocks it was made from stone blocks.Also each step of the 6 steps were as high as 200 ft and was the worlds first stone built structure.When completed the whole site was surrounded with a huge stone wall that was as long 2,000 ft and 1,000ft wide.The curt yard include 40 culoms and many shrines and temples.The burial chambers are an amazing , extraordinary, fascinating goal of architectural design with a series of shafts chamber and tunnels to be able to get lost in!They were the most complex of any pyramids after!
