His pyramid to begin with, the pyramid at Medum, started as a step pyramid and was then changed to structure the first true pyramid. Yet, it was unstable and the limestone blocks started to slip. Eventually because of the awful design the work on the pyramid was abandoned. Pharaoh Sneferu then moved to Dahshur and created a second pyramid, which we now know as the "Bent Pyramid." Known for its unintentional structure, its upper part moves at a shallower plot of slant than the lower part. .
The Bent Pyramid was once in the past planned as a true pyramid, however the corners were focused around shaky ground and the walls of the burial chambers inside started to break and move within. As a requirement, the building's geometry was altered at a point just above half its height. The angle of the slope was decreased from 54∘ 31' 13'' to 43∘ 21'. This perhaps was carried out to facilitate the pressure in the lower part of the pyramid and make it stronger. On the other hand, the Bent Pyramid was never used. As an alternative, Pharaoh Sneferu begun a third pyramid around a mile way. This one is known the "Red Pyramid" because of the red limestone blocks utilized as a part of its structure. It turned into the world's first successful true pyramid. With the Red Pyramid, Pharaoh Sneferu built the standard for all true pyramids to come. He integrated above ground burial chambers, a morgue sanctuary, and a walkway heading down to a valley sanctuary. This was the model shadowed by his son, Khufu, who raised the first and biggest pyramid at Giza. This was a reasonable case of Khufu following in his father's Sneferu and his grandfather's Djoser Netjerikhet footsteps, who governed ancient Egypt toward the start of the Third Dynasty (Old Kingdom). He is typically referred to as Djoser (Zozer or Djeser). Though, this may have been his original name, and it only shows up in later registers.
