There are many different pyramids with different locations and pharaohs who made them, but like all there was a first, the first ones were made around 2630 BC Steppe pyramid of Djoser made by pharaoh Djoser, an interesting fact about this one is that it covered 40 acres or 16 hectares. Over time new pharaohs like Snefru made more pyramids, Snefru made three pyramids. In which one of them was the first ever smooth sided pyramid. All of his pyramids were made during 2600 BC. After pharaoh Snefru died his son pharaoh Khufu made the largest pyramid ever, its called the great pyramid. Pharaoh Khafre made a very complex pyramid.One of the last pyramids in Giza was made by pharaoh Menkaure but this pyramid was very small and when Menkaure died the pyramid was not made any more complex like Menkaure wanted it.
