This is what the pyramids used to look like. They were covered with polished white limestone and had a peak made of pure gold.

The neopyramidal period. For some reason they stopped building pyramids for 4000 years but decided to start again
i think it'd be funny if we just built one single new pyramid.
4000 years of no pyramids, one more pops up, then nothing for another 10'000 years.
See that feels very archeological or eccentric 5 or 6 with the whole shebang over a few centuries is weird
