Large pits can be found within the Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara designed by Imhotep in the 3rd dynasty. The bottom of the pit can be accessed form stairs in an adjacent pit.

Similar pits can be found in other cities in Egypt that were clearly used to store grain. | Large pits can be found within the Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara designed by Imhotep in the 3rd dynasty.
