Summary

The Step Pyramid in Saqqara. Built on top of a shaft that was probably a grain silo built by Joseph. When Pharaoh Djoser (Netjerikhet) died in the 5th year of the famine, Joseph (Imhotep) made the grain silo into a tomb by encasing it with ornate Limestone. Djoser's sarcophagus was placed on a platform at the bottom of the shaft and then it was sealed with a heavy granite slab. Successive Mastabas were built on top of the burial chamber (Shaft) resulting in a Stepped Pyramid.
