Onward and Upward

I have finally made my decision. It is year 15 of my reign and I have decided to leave Meidum. Although the pyramid and complex are nearly complete, I do not think that this place is adequate enough to be my final resting place. Not only do I think that I can make an even better pyramid, one that is slanted with NO steps, but moving to a new residence and pyramid further north, at Dahshur, has many perks.

In Dashur I will have more control over the colonization of the delta and trade routes, a road to the Sinai to the east, and a wadi that leads to oases in the west, as well at the Faiyum. Even more conveniently, there are places to quarry limestone on both sides of the Nile! I'm not sure why I chose Medium in the first place when Dahshur has to much more to offer.

I have a new mission for my architects: I want a pyramid that has slanted sides and towers in the sky at 150 meters. I know that this seems unrealistic, but through the grace of the gods, I know that my architects and workers will make this dream possible for me. And, the sun god Ra will be eternally grateful that my pyramid reaches even higher into the sky! I know that this is a short update, but I have to go get to work planning my pyramid with my architects... Gotta run!
