    ? The last pyramid in Egypt (other cultures like the Nubians built their own) was built by Ahmose I in the mid to late 16th c. BCE, IINM. Not sure what you’re thinking of for 2611 BCE, even the Giza pyramids are within the hundred years after that.

        So you mean the oldest pyramid, not the last? The pyramids in Egypt were built starting around ~2660 BCE up until ~1530 BCE, with the 3 in Giza through 2600 to 2530 BCE, roughly. All dates give or take maybe 10 years. The dates you have would likely be a range for the first of the 3 pyramids in Giza.
