In this video, we take a look at Djoser (also known as Netjerikhet), the highly consequential first king of Egypt's Third Dynasty.
We'll explore how he inherited a newly unified Egypt from his father and used that newfound stability to permanently transform Egyptian architecture.
Join me as we dive into the creation of the world's first monumental stone building - the Step Pyramid at Saqqara - along with the genius of its legendary architect, Imhotep.
We'll also examine the unsolved mysteries of Djoser's massive 37-acre complex and see exactly why his reign was the ultimate turning point that defined early Egyptian civilization.
