 Saturnian Cosmology - The Old Kingdom and the fall of Absu
The start of pyramids after 2600 BC in Egypt is duplicated elsewhere in the world: in Mesopotamia as high ziggurats (2600 BC or later), in China (undated), in the Andes on the Peruvian coast (2630 BC), and in Meso-America (after 1200 BC).
It is tempting to suggest that the mountainous shape of the pyramids built after 2686 BC reflects the shape of the plasma tail seen eminating from Jupiter, and that the phrase "rising on your mountain" reflects the rising and setting of Jupiter in the night sky.
This is a change from the period before 3100 BC when there seems to have been no elite among people (as determined by grave goods) and the political structure was limited to individual cities in Sumer, or nomes (districts) in Egypt.
