Today in class we got to play a game. This game's goal was to build a pyramid. The king got angry a lot and fired you. you had to pick food (onions bread and fish id what i picked) and recreation (board games, free time, more beer, gangs? and gold and stuff) and also pray to the god Seshet : goddess of writing and measurement. you had to build on the west side of the river so the pharaoh could go to the afterlife. i built on the plateau (NOT THE DESERT) at a 52% slope using limestone. You also needed to pick what kinds of workers you wanted to build. *(there were no slaves, farmers were the majority of the group with about a quater of the workers being craftsmen to cut and shape the stone. overseers took up only a smalllll percent. the most difficult thing was the river game where u had to make it from one place to the other to carry supplies. THERE WAS A FINISH THE GAME BUTTON THOUGH THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL BUT NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IT. if you got everything right and the didn't fire you then you won the game and the pyramid gets built
