The oldest Egyptian pyramid is the Pyramid of Djoser.
It was built in the 3rd Dynasty - planned by Imhotep as a solution to previous Pharaoh burial sites being robbed by thieves.
Pyramids would offer better protection to the dead Pharaohs as they had a maze-like structure, dead-ends, booby traps and secret rooms. They even added the extra touch of trying to scare people away by placing "curses" on those who disturb them.
