Item from civilization by Firaxis Games / 2K
The greatest monuments of the ancient world — three massive stone pyramids on the Nile's west bank that have stood for millennia and will stand for millennia more.
The Pyramids are a statement about permanence and power that no other civilization has ever matched. They were built as tombs for pharaohs, yes — but they function as something more: proof that Egypt's civilization can marshal human effort on a scale that bends the landscape itself. In Civilization terms, the Pyramids wonder allows civilizations to choose an extra government policy slot and gives a bonus to production in ancient wonders. In roleplay terms, they are a symbol of Egypt's eternal claim to cultural supremacy — Cleopatra points to them in every negotiation where her civilization's longevity is questioned.
Three colossal triangles of pale limestone rising from the desert plateau, their smooth casing stones still intact and gleaming in the Egyptian sun. The Great Sphinx crouches before them, its face serene and sand-worn. They are visible from twenty miles in any direction across the flat desert.
