IMG_0668 Egypt Saqqara Djoser
This first Egyptian pyramid consisted of six mastabas (of decreasing size) built atop one another in what were clearly revisions and developments of the original plan. The pyramid originally stood 62 meters tall and was clad in polished white limestone. The step pyramid (or proto-pyramid) is considered to be the earliest large-scale stone construction.

And there I the photographer stands in front of this pyramid. What were my thoughts?
Totally amazed! The size, the steepness!
Man made? Yes, but how?
