The Great Pyramid complex is a group of pyramid builds located in the Cactus County region. It was made by DawnDreamer01 (aka Mother Dawn), based on the real-life Giza pyramid complex in Egypt.

Geography

The complex is mostly situated in the deserts of Cactus County region; some of its edge areas host plains, savanna, and dark forest biomes. The complex is neighbored by Osiria, Parkbench, and Seijin Taz (part of Equos Empire) to the west, an unnamed small pyramid (with adjacent buildings) to the north, as well as Venezia Nuova's commonwealth areas, Eoghan and Oisin, each to the northeast and southeast.

Structures

There are five built pyramids within the complex: the Great Pyramid of Giza, Pyramid of Khafre, and three subsidiary pyramids of queens. All pyramids consist of quartz-based blocks; the first two pyramids are topped with gold. The Great Pyramid of Giza is surrounded by around 38 plotted areas (with quartz blocks marking their boundaries), as well as remains of an Enpecee desert pyramid north of it. There are two quartz block lines connecting to the east of the Pyramid of Khafre.

There are three smaller pyramids east of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Among the three, the only pyramid with an entrance and an information wall is the northernmost pyramid, labeled as "The Queen's Pyramid (G1a)". The complete text on the G1a information wall is as follows:

The Queen's Pyramid (G1a) 1 of 3 // Was originally built for Queen Meritetes but... // It is now considered to be the secondary // burial of Queen Hetapheres I // Constructed in the Fourth Dynasty // The base measures at 49.5 Meters (162 ft) // The height measures at 30.25 meters (99.2 ft) // Composed of yellow limestone core encased in Tura limestone

The G1a entrance is located on its northern side; past the entrance, there is a midpoint with signs describing Queen Meritetes and her family:

Queen Meritetes is thought to be who this pyramid was originally // built for. She was considered to be the lesser wife of Sneferu and // the wife of Khufu. She was either the mother or stepmother // of Queen Hetpheres II // Disclaimer: The royal family relations are very tangled.

Past the midpoint is an alleyway that eventually leads to a small burial chamber. There is no sarcophagus in the chamber; instead, there are jars, framed items, and lines of signs scattered around the chamber's floors and walls. The sign lines read, clockwise:

Her grave goods were discovered in a shaft near one of these // Queen's pyramids. The Sarcophagus was sealed, but empty. // The cashe included jewelry and furniture... // Such as her bed, several chairs, walking sticks, and gold. // The canopic jars were intact and are the oldest example // recovered from ancient Egypt so far.

Queen Hetepheres I lived during the fourth dynasty, // She was the principal wife of Sneferu and the mother of // Khufu. This would make her the mother-in-law of the one // thought to be displaced from this pyramid. // It is thought that she was originally buried in // but that tomb has not yet been discovered.

Another well respected theory is that this // burial chamber of Queen Hetepheres, not // After the first robbing of her goods, Khufu had a shaft dug // to hide her and her remaining goods in. He was likely // unaware that she was no longer in her sarcophagus.

The other two pyramids have no entrance or information wall, only labels: "Pyramid of Queen Meritetis I" and "Pyramid of Queen Henutsen". These pyramids might resemble the real-life G1-b and G1-c pyramids within the Giza pyramid complex.
