"UNESCO World Heritage Oldest known stone building of humankind Little is known about the kings of Egypt in the Old Kingdom period, but the pyramids they created were massively impressive statements of their power and wealth, as well as of their immortality. The first of them was the step pyramid designed for Pharaoh Zoser (or Dioser) by the world's first named architect, Imhotep, who is also a key figure in the history of medicine. Imhotep designed the pyramid around the twenty-seventh century B.C.E. Constructed at a location in the desert outside Zoser's capital city of Memphis, from where it could be seen dominating the skyline, the pyramid was a translation of earlier Egyptian architecture into stone. Its diminishing "step" layers of stone and clay rose to a height of about 200 feet (61 m) and were originally covered in gleaming white limestone. The four faces of the pyramid's square base were oriented to the cardinal points. There were numerous gates, but the one true entrance was between columns and led through to the central courtyard. The pyramid held statues of the Egyptian gods and of Zoser himself and members of his family, including a life-sized sculpture of him seated on his throne. Beneath the pyramid was an underground structure of unprecedented size and complexity, with galleries and some 400 rooms. The pyramid stood in a complex of buildings, some of which were apparently dummies, perhaps meant for the king's spirit for a time after death or connected with his jubilee ceremonies. On the south side was the marked-out course that each pharaoh would run around during his coronation ceremony and again at his jubilee. There were also tombs for other members of the ruling house. The wall around the complex was more than 1 mile (1.6 km) long and originally 34 feet (11 m) high. The whole site has been described as "a vast city of the dead.""
