Pyramids King Khufu made one of the greatest pyramids. If you don't believe it, one of the pyramids from this era covers 13 acres and is about as tall as a 40-story building. Imagine building that without any tractors or cranes, just humans and camels. The first pyramid was built in 2700 B.C. The designer, Imhoptep, did it so he could please King Joser. King Joser had wanted his body to be safe from the tomb robbers. After deep thought Imhoptep came up with the step pyramid. Once designed, the step pyramid looked like one of those haystacks farmers make around Halloween that you can go on. Imhoptep thought it would work, but after King Joser was buried the robbers still found a way into his tomb.
