Piramide van Sakkara in Egypte before 1914

This photograph, taken before 1914, depicts the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, Egypt. Built by the architect Imhotep for the pharaoh Djoser, the pyramid is a groundbreaking example of early Egyptian architecture, marking a departure from traditional mastabas. The photograph captures the pyramid's imposing structure, with its distinct steps rising towards the sky. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Egypt's architectural achievements.
