![]() The museum has its origins in the work of French archaeologist Auguste Mariette. To walk around the museum is to embark on an adventure through time. Here, the treasures of Tutankhamun lie alongside the grave goods, mummies, jewellery, eating bowls and toys of Egyptians whose names are lost to history. These can be obtained at quarries, which require a large workforce.The Egyptian Museum is one of the world’s most important museums of ancient history and one of its great spectacles. The most time-consuming stage of monument construction is the acquisition of building materials, mostly granite, limestone or plain stone. Monuments generally require a lot of time, effort and space to complete. Lighthouse of Alexandria: The last monument constructed in the game.Great Library of Alexandria: A late game monument.Abu Simbel: Constructed during a middle campaign of the Cleopatra expansion.Royal burial tombs: Four different sizes for four different pharaohs of the New Kingdom.Obelisks: Small and large obelisks are constructed, most often in border cities.Caesareum: A larger type mausoleum, built in Alexandria in one of the last game missions.Mausoleums: Royal above ground burial temples, build during the middle missions of the game, and again in the last of the Cleopatra missions.Sun Temple: A rare type of monument constructed during the Middle Kingdom.Sphinx: Constructed at the same time as the Great Pyramid.Grand Mudbrick Pyramid: One of the last missions of the original Pharaoh game requires the player to build this monument.Mudbrick pyramids: Later game pyramids, somewhat less grand than the pyramids of old.Great pyramid of Giza: The Great pyramid is constructed, along with a medium sized second pyramid and the sphinx.True pyramid: The first true pyramid is a required mission.Can be skipped if the player chooses a military mission in lieu. Bent pyramid: Optional mission to construct this unusual pyramid design.Grand stepped pyramid: An optional mission allows the player to construct a burial complex containing a grand stepped pyramid as well as a small stepped pyramid as their own personal tomb.Stepped pyramid: The first stepped pyramid is build at Saqqara.Small, medium, and large mastaba tombs are constructed in various early missions. Mastaba tombs: First monument in the game.A Carpenters Guild is available to construct wooden ramps for large monuments and, in the Cleopatra expansion, an Artisans Guild supplies painters to paint the inside of the burial tombs. Usually this is a Stoneworkers Guild, but a Bricklayers Guild is required when the monument (also) contains ordinary bricks. ![]() Once at the monument, the workers are directed by members of a Guild. ![]() Thus, when a work force is heavily engaged in agriculture, the available force to build the monument may diminish, especially during a harvest. The work force is gathered by a Work Camp which is also in charge of supplying workers for farm and field cultivation. Monuments are build through a lengthy process of acquiring needed resources (such as bricks and stone) and then having a peasant worker force clear the area where the monument will be and then build the monument itself. Some cities require that specific monuments be constructed before the player may move onto the next city in the campaign.
