d8g4cnd24_h7 102 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 I think that we should have different types of pyramids as they did throughout the course of the Ancient Egyptian Civilization.

madrad 362 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 Well so long as we can get the main pyramid done first who says we cant get more pyramids made. Also with the inside im thinking a couple chambers (including treasure, king, queen.......) Interesting fact of the day: The oldest pyramid (Pyramid of Djoser) was designed by Imhotep.

Daenerys2012 9 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) This looks so cool. I can't wait! We should have a tomb in one of the pyramids with all kinds of rich stuff and statues like the ancient pharaohs! Tomb of King Tut for example.

Flobby18 2 Report post Posted June 17, 2012 It's also a great place to gain levels, the flat area in front of spawn has a ledge above it, when mobs fall down you can literally punch them and they'll die. Watch out for skeletons and endermen as they can be particularly annoying. The building is going great and the outside of the pyramis should be finished soon, I'm wondering how we'll light up the inside though as 3 stacks of torches seemed to do nothing to slow the advance of mobs.

madrad 362 Report post Posted June 19, 2012 Well everyone the pyramid is going really well and the structure is almost finished. Once it is we can make a start on the burrial chamber and all the other chambers inside Outside of the pyramid there are still other things that people can make that fit in with the theme of Egypt. Some things that I personally had in my mind were a valley of the kings. A sand mine for the [s]slaves [/s]members to retrieve the sand for the pyramid construction (as well as their village). Outside the pyramid i was thinking of leveling out the south side and we could make a couple statues maybe even a [s]Cleopatra's [/s]Steerpike's Needle. So what are everyones thoughts.
