Saqqara - The First Pyramid

S1 E2: At the heart of Saqqara, the largest necropolis in Egypt, which was built around 2600 BC, is the Step Pyramid of Djoser. This pyramid, with its unusual design, is the first and most complex of all. For almost two centuries now, scientists and Egyptologists have been using new technologies to piece together these subterranean labyrinths to understand the mysteries behind their construction.
