Article An Analysis of the Funerary complex of Djoser The Funerary complex of Djoser, built around 2650 BCE in the Third Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, is located on a gentle hill west of Memphis and slightly to the north of Saqqara, Egypt (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017). It is widely believed that the complex was designed by the vizier of pharaoh Djoser, Imhotep, who is an outstanding doctor as well as architect (Tour Egypt, n. d.).

The main material for the building construction is stone. Due to the huge weight of material and the massive scale of the architecture, it is widely accepted that ramps would have been used to raise stone under construction, while apparatuses such as rollers were used in which the heavy stone could be placed and then rolled for transport (World-Mysterious, 2012).

The Mortuary is 277m wide and 544 m long with a rectangular shape. It is surrounded by white stone walls with fourteen fake gateways and one real entrance, which is more than 10 meters high and laid out in precise orientation to the four cardinal points (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017). The main building of the complex is the step pyramid (see Figure 1). It was situated in the center of the large enclosure and began as a square mastaba (Jarus, 2012), a flat-roofed monument with sloping sides. As Figure 2 indicates, with twice expansion, it is around 60 meters high with a six-tiered structure and seems to be composed of a series of mastabas, which are smaller sequentially, and stacked on top of each other (Sullivan, 2001). Moreover, according to Figure 3, there are many other constructions, for instance, the monumental altar for receiving offerings, the small chapel for placing a life-size statue of Djoser (Ka statue), and many dummy buildings with stone walls enclosing a fill of rubble. In addition, there are some remarkable details. For instance, columns with different shapes and ornamentations have different meanings. Some are slender columns with the ornamentation of reed bundles, while some columns with smooth-angled shafts are holding bell-shaped capitals on the shape of papyrus flower, which all have symbolic values (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017).

The emergence of the Funerary complex of Djoser is related to political environment, nature environment and the development of technology. First of all, regarding political environment, the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt with a rapid development of a powerful bureaucracy lead to a population boom as well as prosperous production. It was recoded that the total population had reached seven million and the Nile Valley produced 3 times its own domestic requirement (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017). Large population and abundant production provides sufficient labor force and economic base for funerary complex construction. In terms of natural environment, the stone was abundant up and down the Nile. A substantial amount of diverse kinds of stone, such as red granite, white marble, black basalt and soft sandstone (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017), ensure the sufficiency of raw material of the construction. Moreover, in technology terms, the art of polished slab of marble had been mastered by Egyptians (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017), which provides a possibility for the construction of large scale building. To summarize, stable politics, sufficient natural materials and advanced technology lead to the construction of the Funerary complex of Djoser.

The Funerary Complex of Djoser has significant value on both religion in Egypt as well as architectural form. In terms of religion, this building represents a shift in the idea of death and its associated religious practice. The low-lying mastabas of the pharaohs were considered ranked among the gods rather than the worthy of rulers. The pyramid was no longer built for eternity but defined as “the place where one ascend� (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017). Moreover, the rectangular shape and wall served the symbolic purpose of defending the mortuary complex from the chaos of the unordered world outside (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017). When people enter through a portal that leads past a corridor of columns, symbolizing not only the transition between life and renewal but also the difference between the human and divine scale (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017). With regarding to architectural form, with innovative way of stacking six mastabas together, the first pyramid appeared (Ancient Origins, 2014). It became the archetype that many other pyramids imitated and developed the form of it. For example, the design of the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was influenced by it enormously (Mark, 2016, Jarus, 2012). Moreover, the step pyramid is considered to be the earliest large-scale cut stone construction (Ancient Code, n. d.), which indicates that the technology of stone processing and economy of Egypt reached a new peak at that time. In addition, columns of a narrow corridor at the entrance are probably the earliest monumental stone columns in the stone of architecture, which are fluted and simulate a reed bundle and flower bundles (See Figure 4). In principle at least, they painted and even emitting a divine fragrance. Furthermore, their difference of scale at the entrance symbolizing the separation of divine and mortal world, which bring to the fore a way of understanding the originating power of architecture as models (Ching, Jarzombek and Prakash, 2017).

To sum up, the Funerary Complex of Djoser expresses the conversion and practice of religious ideas and establishes the critical original form for the development of pyramid.

In Conclusion, the Funerary Complex of Djoser appeared with suitable political, natural and technological conditions, and contributed to a significant impact on both religion and architecture form in Egypt. According to Miroslav (n. d., cited in Joshua, 2016), there is a few monuments holding a place in human history as significant as that of the Step Pyramid in Saqqara. It constitutes a milestone in the evolution of monumental stone architecture in Egypt and in the world as a whole. Therefore, as an original abstraction large-scale model, as well as a landmark of typical architectural form, it is of high value in architecture as well as human history.
