The Great Pyramid and pyramid complex in Giza has never been "lost" since it was built. It was and is one of the wonders of the world and ancient tourists, just like modern ones, went to see it. There are many more pyramids in Egypt and elsewhere, that were, of course, never truly "discovered", but rather uncovered by archaeologists over the centuries. The earliest pyramids in Egypt were "step" pyramids, built by laying ever smaller rectangles of masonry atop one another. However, there is some mounting evidence that the idea for mummification and internment of important corpses in pyramids came from a culture even more ancient than the Egyptians. This culture may have lived in area of the Saharan desert that, in neolithic times, was still fertile and populated with much wildlife and humans.

Egypt has been occupied since the pyramids were built. No one ever lost them. Pretty big, and hard to miss.

it was built in the reign of the pharaoh zoser by his royal architect and advisor imhotep!!!it was built in succeeding layers of decreasingly sized trapezoids whose sides lean inwards at the top edges..there was probablly some "filling structure"to refine the design into a homogeneous platonic solid which was probablly "mined away"by succeeding generations for building materials leaving behind the "core structure"!
