The pyramids in Egypt are among the most amazing architectural monuments in the world, and the differences between them are as fascinating as their similarities.
The Step Pyramid of the Old Kingdom pharaoh Djoser [ruled about 2668-2649 BC] was the very first of any of the pyramids built in Egypt, built during the Old Kingdom's 3rd Dynasty.
The Great Pyramid is the largest and best known of the three Old Kingdom pyramids located on the Giza Plateau in Egypt, built during the reign of the Pharaoh Khufu between 2589 and 2566 BC.
Khafre's pyramid on the Giza Plateau was built between 2558 and 2532 BC, the second after Khufu's and before Menkaure's pyramids.
The last pyramid built at the Giza Plateau was constructed during the fourth dynasty of the Old Kingdom Egypt, to hold the remains of the pharaoh Menkaure (also spelled Menkare).
The Bent Pyramid is one of the Old Kingdom Pyramids at Giza, Egypt; built in the 4th Dynasty, 2680-2565 B.C. for the 4th dynasty pharaoh, Sneferu.
Meidum (also spelled Maidum) is an Old Kingdom pyramid, begun during the 3rd dynasty by Huni, and completed during the 4th Dynasty (2613-2494 BC) by his son Sneferu (or Snofru)
