Saying that the step pyramid is "akin to the Sumerian Ziggurat" is highly misleading, since they served entirely different functions, were built in very different ways and of different materials, and had different external structures.
Tranlastion in french:
La pyramide de Djoser a été conçue pour l'enterrement du pharaon Djoser par Vizier Imhotep. Cette première pyramide égyptienne est composée de 6 mastabas (de taille décroissante) construite placé sur une une autre dans ce qui étaient clairement des révisions et des développements du plan original. La pyramide était de 60 m de hauteur. La pyramide d'étape (ou la pyramide de degré) est considérée comme la construction en pierre à grande échelle la plus tôt.
