stepped+pyramid




 * Step pyramids** are structures which characterized several cultures throughout history, in several locations throughout the world. These [|pyramids] typically are large and made of several layers of stone. The term refers to pyramids of similar design that emerged separately from one another, as there are no firmly established connections between the different civilizations that built them. This particular step pyramid is made of six mastaba like elements of decreasing size stacked on top of one another.
