<P> This first Egyptian pyramid consisted of six mastabas ( of decreasing size ) built atop one another in what were clearly revisions and developments of the original plan . The pyramid originally stood 62 metres ( 203 ft ) tall , with a base of 109 m × 125 m ( 358 ft × 410 ft ) and was clad in polished white limestone . The step pyramid ( or proto - pyramid ) is considered to be the earliest large - scale cut stone construction , although the pyramids at Caral in South America are contemporary and the nearby enclosure known as Gisr el - Mudir would seem to predate the complex . </P>
