Designed by his vizier and architect, Imhotep, the Step Pyramid is considered the first large-scale stone building in Egypt and marks a key milestone in the evolution of Egyptian tomb architecture. Unlike earlier mastaba tombs, which were simple, rectangular structures, the Step Pyramid introduced the concept of a pyramid with multiple stone layers, creating a towering, monumental structure that would influence pyramid designs for centuries.
