Google didn't just add the pyramids to its Street View tool. It also added imagery of other sites in Egypt, like the Citadel of Cairo, a medieval Islamic fortification shown here.
Pyramid of Djoser
Before the Great Pyramids of Giza, there was the Step Pyramid of Djoser, which was built in Saqqara about 4,700 years ago. It started out as a flat-roofed tomb but then evolved into a 197-foot-high (60 meters) pyramid.
