The Step pyramid of Djoser rises in six unequal stages to a height of 60 meters (appr) and is the first and oldest ancient Egyptian pyramid, although not a 'true' one with smooth sides.

The blue faience-tiles of King Djoser's symbolic palace were found deep under the pyramid.

Deep beneath the pyramid of King Djoser is a series of chambers and corridors representing the royal palace.

The limestone walls here were ornamented with delicate tiles of blue and blue-green faience, inlaid in stone panels to imitate mats made of bound reeds.

Part of this chamber is on display at Imhotep Museum in Saqqara.
