The Great Pyramid of GIza
The Great Pyramid has been described as the most colossal building ever constructed by humankind. It was built for Pharaoh Khufu, the second king of the fourth ancient Egyptian dynasty, who is recognised as having been the most powerful ruler of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.
After the crazy roof of Himeji Castle it was a relief to work on the pyramid, its simplistic geometry allowed my brain to take a much-needed break!
Often when working on simplistic models (such as this one), though, it is great to try get in something that challenges us. So for the tombs, I really tried hard to be as accurate as possible to the depiction of their floating slabs of rock and unusual sizes.
Built and designed by Ryan McNaught, the huge pyramid cross-section uses just over 28,000 LEGO pieces and took 71 hours to create.
