During the 4th Dynasty, the spectacular pyramids of Giza were built, on a low plateau above the Nile valley near Cairo. Tens of thousands of workers were employed to build and decorate the outside of the pyramids. The outside decoration lasted for hundreds of years before slowly falling away.

Compete or maybe cooperate somewhat to display or hide your handiwork as a pyramid is built level by level.
