'Step' Pyramid Description of Design (Part 7)

Video: 'Step' Pyramid: description of it's form and meaning. Note the shape of the hieroglyph for water... looks like water.  I would like to have this Pyramid renamed the Wave Pyramid.  As anyone knows, 'steps' do not have sloped tops or sides... one can imagine steps into the heavens, yes, but to be honest with the intentions of the Pyramids design, Wave is appropriate.

 Hieroglyph for Water... the 'wave'.

Also, if the Pyramid is a pathway of water, then the Pharaoh's spirit must travel on a vessel of sorts.

Mistake: I wrote "perhaps a place for a crown"; this should of been on it's own slide and pointing at the flat top surface only.  It is a little confusing as stated in the video.  It is obvious that the flat was intentional for a crowning piece that certainly was melted down and used elsewhere.  Because of it's weight, there would be no need to anchor it to the stone portion of the Pyramid.  It might also be noted that the crown might of had a sub-structure of wood and clad with a metal material as wood was used in earlier temples.  In fact, this Pyramid was considered first in many things including the use of stone, and many of the stone details mimic the designs of their wood counter part.
