The oldest pyramid of the world is located in Egypt. The 4,00-year-old Zoser Pyramid was built during the Pharaoh Zoser from the Third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Unlike other pyramids, the pyramid is also called the Step Pyramid because it is built as a ladder. The Zoser Pyramid faced decades of collapse. In 2006, the Egyptian government launched a major project to restore the pyramid. The restoration works that started in 2006 stopped during the actions that led to the overthrow of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Restoration work started again in 2013. Restoration work that started again was over in the past few days and the Zoser Pyramid was reopened on Thursday. The Zoser Pyramid, the first large-scale stone building in history, is also the first pyramid. The Zoser Pyramid was designed by Imhotep, the world’s first architect. The pyramid, which is 60 meters high, is 70 meters wide. During the restoration work on the pyramid, measures were taken to prevent the pyramid from collapsing. The sarcophagus of Pharaoh Zoser and the walls of the burial chamber were also restored. The road to the pyramid and the inner walls of the pyramid were also repaired during restoration. Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli and Egyptian Antiquities and Tourism Minister Khaled El-Enany attended the opening ceremony on Thursday. Prime Minister Madbouli explained that they are doing their best to build a new Egypt and that their priorities are the restoration of cultural heritage.
