They serve as significant examples of the architectural progress that eventually led to the construction of the Great Pyramid and its counterparts in Giza.


The Bent Pyramid *  was built by King Sneferu, the first ruler of Dynasty 4. It is known as "bent" because of its unusual shape caused by a change in angle during construction.

After this, the king's builders created another pyramid nearby, called the Red Pyramid .
