Even though I am disappointed and now pressed for time, I do appreciate that my architects tried to be innovative and experimental. I have complete faith that they will be able to build a true pyramid because their work with my 'Bent' Pyramid taught them how the stresses of building true pyramids work... I wonder if the name 'Bent' Pyramid will stick?
For these reasons I have decided to leave this project, and allow my architects one more chance on getting it right. We are going to stay at Dahshur due to all of the natural advantages I have previously detailed, but we are moving to a site a short distance away.
I have also decided to have some workers go back to my abandoned Meidum pyramid and alter it to be a true pyramid. Although I believe this next pyramid will be my final resting place, I need to ensure that if something were to happen to me before it is finished, I would have a suitable place to be buried. I'm too old to have to deal with all of this! Tonight I will be praying to Ra to keep me alive and well until my third and final pyramid is complete. My architects are making sketches for it now. I told them that absolutely EVERYTHING has to be perfect, so I have a feeling they will be playing it safe for this pyramid...

Dad, this never would have happened if you listened to me.
ReplyDeleteI repeat: try Giza. It's got good karma.
And toss your architects into an abandoned antechamber, then seal it up and try mine. They're awesome!
