How does the pyramid reflect the influence of the city of Heliopolis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The city of Heliopolis was associated with the cult of Re, whose emblem was the pyramidal stone or ben-ben. The pyramid shape reflects this influence and is often associated with the worship of the sun god. Imhotep, a famous architect and physician, was associated with the construction of the Step Pyramid in Saqqara, which was located near Heliopolis but not directly influenced by it. Similarly, while a masons' guild may have been involved in pyramid construction, the influence of Heliopolis was primarily related to its religious associations. The cult of Amen was more closely associated with Thebes than with Heliopolis.
