The unusual stepped pyramid in Saqqara, known as the pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, surprised Cassandra when she saw it for the first time. Djoser had built it in 2630BC. Unlike other Egyptian pyramids and unlike the great pyramids of the Maya in Mexico, the pyramid at Saqqara is stepped and square. Once back from Egypt, and in her workshop Cassandra recreated the pyramid in gold. Soon after she found some beautifully facetted small pyramids in facetted stones. Cassandra thought to replace the top of the golden pyramid and set these stones at the apex. From the journey to Egypt.
