Welcome to PAATH History
The design of Egyptian pyramids, especially the stepped designs of the oldest pyramids (Pyramid of Zoser at Saqqara, 2600 BCE), may have been an evolution from the ziggurats built in Mesopotamia, dated to as early as 4000–3500 BCE. Among the archaeological remains of the Old Kingdom the most impressive buildings are the royal tombs. The architecture of the pyramids continued to evolve under the successors of Djoser—from step pyramids to true pyramids—till it reached its climax in the Fourth Dynasty. This video throws light on the architectural development and the history of Egyptian Pyramids.
