Why did the pyramid design change?

The Egyptians were very religious, and their principal god was Yamun-Re, aka the Sun. All their monuments were meant to be religiously symbolic, so the pyramid was meant to be a sort of ramp toward the Sun. They couldn't have a flat-topped pyramid, since it would be incomplete, and it couldn't have steep sides like an obese obelisk, because have you ever tried walking up an obese obelisk. It had to be perfect.
