Stufenpyramide

the Djoser Stufenpyramide in Egypt

the term Stufenpyramide marks a pyramid-like building, whose front is developed in the form of steps. Stufenpyramiden differ clearly from otherwise for example the pyramids established in Egypt, which exhibit a smooth front. They resemble the mesopotamischen Zikkurat.

Stufenpyramiden became mainly in Mesoamerika established by the Teotihuacán - and Mayakulturen, however also the Djoser pyramid in Egypt has this form.
