From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

The first tombs were sand pit burials. The first pyramid was made by Sneferu's father. His architect's name was Imhotep. He was a famous healer featured in the Mummy movies. His tomb was never found. Sneferu was the greatest pharoah ever. He build 3 pyramids. The first one was built in Medium, but it collapsed. The next, the so-called Bent Pyramid was built in Dashur. His final pyramid and tomb was also built in Dasshur and is called the Red Pyramid. His son, the great Khufu ( also known as Cheops) built the Great Pyramid at Giza. His son, Khafre, built the second pyramid at Giza; the next dynasty built the third.

All pyramids are perfectly aligned to North, South, East, and West.
