The forerunners of the pyramid are the step pyramids, with the most notable example being the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, Egypt. Constructed during the Third Dynasty around 2670 BCE, this structure features a series of stacked mastabas (flat-roofed tombs) that ascend in layers. Other early forms include the mastaba itself, which served as a precursor to later monumental tomb designs. These structures laid the foundation for the development of true pyramids, culminating in the iconic shapes seen in later periods.
