OK as you have already been told the step pyramid at saqarra is the oldest it was built by imhotep for pharoh djoser a mastaba is not a pyramid but is a kind of mud brick block that was built over the top of an underground tomb complex. Imhotep built a mastaba on the saqarra site then built a smaller mastaba on top and then another on top and so forth so creating a number of steps and the first stone built building in the world. the step pyramid. snefru a little time later decided to try and build a true pyramid and started with a pyramid at meidum but got the maths wrong and it started to collapse. so he tried again at dashur again it started to collapse so he changed the angle he was building at and this became the bent pyramid, finally his third pyramid the red pyramid was successful. His son khufu built the great pyramid at Giza. but there is only one step pyramid and only one bent pyramid and mastabas are not pyramids at all
