And have i been busy! First up, i have rebuilt the Great Pyramids of the Giza Necropolis(unfortunately they were too far apart to get the classic Sunset Picture) in Minecraft on a 1:2 scale(Each block in Minecraft is one metre wide by one metre tall by one metre long. For every two metres on the real pyramids i have one. Ie: Menkaure's pyramid(far left) is 100 metres to a side, here it's 50 blocks to a side.) I also use hard research to find out the exact side lengths, and to position them as accurately as possible , with their positions based off each other. They are epic.
Pictures!
My attempt at the classic Giza image.
Seen from miles above.
Making these pyramids made me realise just how hard it was to build the real pyramids. It first ocurred to me when i was filling in Menkaure's (small one) pyramid. I must have placed ten-thousand blocks or so, and i was doing just half the work. In reality, the blocks weighed two-and-a-half tons.I don't know how much the blocks in minecraft weigh, but it is certainly a lot.
Technically they are incomplete (middle and far right pyramids don't have interiors) but that is something for another day.
