点评:Widely regarded as an important development in Egyptian pyramid building, the Step Pyramid of Djoser is an impressive site. It's not the first step pyramid - over 30, known as ziggurats, had been previously built in Mesopotamia (Iran mostly), and it's not even the first step pyramid in Egypt - the Mastaba of Anedjib, now mostly ruined, was earlier, and contained evidence that there had been earlier (as yet undiscovered) step pyramids; however, it's in excellent condition, and is clearly a step pyramid, so it is widely regarded as the first significant step pyramid in Egypt. Step pyramids appear in different places around the world at different times, which may appear magical, but they are a fairly simple and sturdy manner of building high, so pyramid building makes sense.
The accompanying buildings are quite remarkable, and the underground tomb with the subtle carved reliefs which can only be seen by torch, is worth the visit by itself.
翻译:左塞尔阶梯金字塔被广泛认为是埃及金字塔建筑的重要发展,是一个令人印象深刻的遗址。它不是第一座阶梯金字塔——此前在美索不达米亚(主要是伊朗)建造了 30 多个被称为金字形神塔的金字塔,它甚至不是埃及的第一座阶梯金字塔——现在大部分已毁的阿内德吉布的马斯塔巴金字塔建造时间更早,并且有证据表明之前曾有更早的(尚未发现的)阶梯金字塔;然而,它保存完好,显然是一座阶梯金字塔,因此它被广泛认为是埃及第一座重要的阶梯金字塔。阶梯金字塔在不同时期出现在世界各地的不同地方,这可能看起来很神奇,但它们是一种相当简单和坚固的高层建筑方式,因此建造金字塔是有意义的。
配套建筑非常引人注目,地下墓穴的精雕细琢的浮雕只能在火炬下看到,本身就值得一游。
