Egyptian pyramids were connected to mortuary temples and other structures, rather than standing as isolated geometric puzzles. The Step Pyramid at Saqqara preceded the great smooth-sided pyramids. A reconstruction can suggest a setting, but surviving remains and records do not answer every question. Our image is explicitly imagined; it should help you ask about materials, labor and purpose, not settle disputed construction details.
