Its central element is a massive stepped pyramid of limestone masonry constructed at the instigation of the architect Imhotep, who was later deified for his achievement. Originally conceived as a mastaba tomb, the design was modified six times before finally emerging as a six-stepped pyramid with a complex suite of subterranean funerary apartments, including a granite-lined burial chamber and walls paneled in small blue faience tiles. Among the objects recovered from the underground rooms were stelae depicting the King, and more than 40,000 stone vessels. A mortuary abutted the north side of the pyramid, and beside it a serdab (sealed chamber) contained a painted limestone seated figure of Djoser. The Step Pyramid complex has been excavated by many notable archaeologists, from Auguste Mariette in the 1860s to Jean-Philippe Lauer, who was responsible for most of the conservation and reconstruction work carried out from the 1930s. The complex is surrounded by a recessed limestone wall with bastions and 14 imitation closed gates enclosing an area roughly 300×500 m. The single genuine entrance in the south-eastern corner leads into an entrance colonnade comprising 48 ribbed columns.
