The Pyramid of Djoser, sometimes called the Step Pyramid of Djoser, built 4,700 years ago, is the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt. The Red Pyramid, also called the North Pyramid, is the third largest Egyptian pyramid, after those of Khufu and Khafre at Giza. It is believed to be Egypt's first successful attempt at constructing a true smooth-sided pyramid. It was not always red; it used to be cased with white limestone. The Bent Pyramid represents the transition from step-sided pyramids to smooth-sided pyramids.
