The True Pyramid
| The true pyramid is a natural
development and improvement on the step pyramid. The
first true pyramids were introduced in at the beginning
of the 4th Dynasty. The structure of a True Pyramid is
virtually the same as a step pyramid. Packing blocks are
stacked until the dimensions were right, and then
finishing blocks (usually limestone) were the last touch.
The aesthetics are much more pleasing than the step
pyramid, but the construction isn't really that
different.
