The magnificent step pyramid standing tall in the ancient Egyptian necropolis of Saqqara is truly one of the wonders of the ancient world.
Now a team led by Egyptologist Xavier Landreau of Paleotechnic in France may have uncovered a significant clue. The novel interpretation of the structure not only helps explain the construction of the pyramid, but several other unidentified features at Saqqara, tying them together in a tidy package. The pyramid of Djoser is deeply impressive; a vast limestone edifice that towers over the surrounding necropolis in the form of six 'steps' that give it a distinctive, iconic profile against the sky.
