1. Skilled workers such as masons, carpenters, smiths (coppersmiths rather than blacksmiths), rope makers and surveyors. The most important were the masons.

His pyramid stood in in the desert region of Saqqara close to Memphis.

His name was Imhotep and such was his genius that he was worshiped as a god of architects by the later generations of Egyptians.
