Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli (C) leaves after a press conference in front of the step pyramid of Djoser in Egypt’s Saqqara necropolis, south of the capital Cairo, on March 5, 2020. – Egyptian authorities inaugurated the famed step pyramid of Djoser,one of the earliest built in the country’s ancient history, after years of renovation. The 4,700-year-old structure is nestled south of Cairo in the ancient capital of Memphis, a UNESCO World Heritage site, home to some of Egypt’s most fascinating monuments. Renovation works started in 2006 but was interrupted in 2011 and 2012 for “security reasons” due to turmoil caused by a popular uprising that toppled late president Hosni Mubarak.
