Secrets of Saqqara

Located south of modern-day Cairo, Saqqara served as a vast necropolis for Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom. It houses a number of pyramids, including the Step Pyramid, which dates to around 2650 B.C. and is the first known building to be made entirely of stone.

With a total volume of 330,400 cubic meters (11,667,966 cu ft), the construction of the Step pyramid and its pyramid complex was an unpreceded construction project of immense scale in ancient Egypt.

How did this ancient civilization have the immediate skills and technology to create such a vast engineering marvel in its very beginnings?

Is it possible that Saqqara was built much further back in time?
