Pyramid of Djoser
Archeological site in Egypt
Summary
The Pyramid of Djoser, sometimes called the Step Pyramid of Djoser or Step Pyramid of Horus Netjerikhet, is an archaeological site in the Saqqara necropolis, Egypt, northwest of the ruins of Memphis. It was the first Egyptian pyramid to be built. The six-tier, four-sided structure is the earliest colossal stone building in Egypt. It was built in the 27th century BC during the Third Dynasty for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser. The pyramid is the central feature of a vast mortuary complex in an enormous courtyard surrounded by ceremonial structures and decoration.

Having double-checked on a suspicions, this still needs a citation, but only the unsourced date was changed by User:Burner89751654. Since neither the original nor the altered date has been sourced, I've re-instated your edit to this latter date. It still needs a citation.
These dates actually need a citation. The dates given here originally are taken from the construction of the pyramid. Which has no bearing on the length it held the title.
Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1352328695|1352328695]] by [[Special:Contributions/Burner89751654|Burner89751654]] ([[User talk:Burner89751654|talk]]) What another Wikipedia article says is wholly irrelevant as it is not a reliable source. The date here is cited to a high quality rs published by the Oxford University Press. Unfortunately whoever put them there rounded them up. Understandable, but inadequate.
Changing successor's date to match its article.
