ELEMENTS OF ARCHITECTURE: Mastaba To Pyramid

Description
The burial structure began as a low, solid, rectangular mastaba with an external area that served as the focus of offerings.
Eventually, mastabas of decreasing size were stacked over an underground burial chamber to form the step pyramid.

The culmination of this development is the pyramid, in which the actual burial site may be within the pyramid with false chambers and doors, and confusing passageways to stop tomb robbers.
