How many pyramid structures are there in Egypt today?
There are over 100 pyramids in Egypt alone, most are located around Cairo and only one royal pyramid is known in southern egypt at Abydos. The Pyramid Age began with a burst of building, starting with the 3rd Dynasty reign of Djoser. Some of the early kings, most specifically Snefru, built more than one pyramid. Almost all of the kings added to their number through the end of the Middle Kingdom, with the possible exception of the First Intermediate Period between the Old and Middle Kingdoms. After the first Pharaoh of Egypt’s New Kingdom, Ahmose, royal pyramid building by Egyptians ceased entirely.
