The Evolution of The Egyptian Pyramids...


Pyramid construction evolved from mudbrick bench-like structures called mastabas (meaning “stone bench”).. The Step Pyramid (Original height 62.5 metres) The Buried Pyramid (Original height 8 metres) The Layer Pyramid (Original height 42 metres) The Pyramid of Meidum (Original height 91.5 metres) The Bent Pyramid (Original height 104.7 metres) The Red Pyramid (Original height 105 metres) The Great Pyramid of Giza (Original height 146.7 metres)


Ancient Egyptian architecture’s most iconic form is, of course, the pyramid. Built thousands of years ago, the Egyptian pyramids are still popular tourist attractions to this day, giving testament to the skill and ingenuity of ancient Egyptian architects. However, the smooth sloped triangular structures did not simply appear one day, rather the design evolved from millennia of different architectural styles and structures across the region.
