in saqqara, south of cairo. it's the world's oldest stone monument and the first attempt at a pyramid. built for the pharaoh zoser in 2650 bc. it's 62 meters high.
Finished around 2510 BC, this was built as a tomb for the kin Menkaure, who was the son of Khafre and the grandson of Khufu, who built the other two main Pyramids of Giza.
It's much smaller than the other two, and used to have a casing of white limestone, with the bottom 16 rows made of red granite -- so it would have looked like a "stripe" along the bottom.
In the 12th Century, al-Malek al-Aziz Othman ben Yusuf tried to dismantle it, but it was far too difficult and expensive. Blacks that tumbled to the bottom would become buried in sand. Eventually he gave up, leaving a "scar" along one side.
