Some of the early architects build some of the most wonderful architecture, such as Imhotep. Imhotep was an Egyptian chancellor who had created the first major monument built in stone.

He was very good at his craft and was a skilled architect. The famous Step Pyramid in Saqqara was said to be designed by Imhotep himself; one of the first ministers of King Zoser.

Stacked like shaped pyramids similar to the ones constructed by Imhotep in Egypt can be compared to the ones in Spain though they are built from lava stone. They may have been dated to the 19th century; these pyramids have been destroyed because of the material used for construction. The Mexicans on the other hand used

The man regarded with designing this structure, Imhotep, is also considered the first known architect.
