The ancient Egyptians built large and elaborate pyramids as tombs for their kings, the pharaohs. They were built of huge stone blocks and took a couple of decades to build. The three pyramids of Giza are the most famous. They were built in the 26th century B.C. The largest pyramid of Giza is called the Great Pyramid of Khufu. It is also the largest and grandest pyramid ever built. It is 479 feet tall (146 meters). The pharaoh Sneferu built this pyramid for his son, Khufu, in 2540 B.C. It was built from millions of blocks of limestone and granite.
Early Egyptian kings were buried in mounds called mastabas. In approximately 2780 BC the first Egyptian pyramid was built as the burial chamber for King Djoser. Located at Sakkara near Memphis, Djoser's burial chamber was a step pyramid. According to the Smithsonian Museum the first smooth-sided pyramid was built during the reign of King Snefru, sometime between 2680-2560 BC. Snefru's son, Khufu, is responsible for building the most famous of all the pyramids, the Great Pyramid at Giza.
