Ack!!! We need your help!!!!
The pyramids of Chichen Itza and the Djoser Step Pyramid have mysteriously vanished!
Your job as "Master Builder" (should you choose to accept it) is to rebuild the pyramid in 2 days.
You can use whatever tools and techniques available to you.
Use your creativity to describe the environment, building progress and processes, and any troubles rising from the culture shock of a strange environment (ie: humidity and available building materials, etc)
Use your own workforce or have the local natives do it. Remember the language barriers and local customs because they could either be a hinderance or a help!
So will you accept the mission? Your city needs you!
Rules:
- Your entry will consist of a roleplay, discussion or story on how you would build a pyramid. Include graphics if you wish but this is not mandatory. If you don't include graphics, describe what the pyramid looks like.
- There will be two categories: "Traditional" and "Humour". Traditional being the use of true historical building techniques. Humour can even include the use of "aliens" but you have to get them to do what you want them to do and not have the magically conjure up a pyramid out of thin air.
- Your workforce can consist of anyone and anything.
- In your story include how or what made the pyramids disappear.
- You have 2 days to build your pyramid.
- In this thread, your pyramid must be styled and decorated in the Americas way. The Americas thread is for Egyptian styled pyramids. Follow the link above to get to the Americas thread or click here: Chichen Itza
