The Pharaohs Who Couldn't Stop Building
Deep in the heart of Ancient Egypt, there lived a group of pharaohs who were afflicted with a rare condition: Burnout Syndrome.
The symptoms were all too familiar: exhaustion, irritability, and an unrelenting urge to build more monuments.
They'd built the Great Pyramid, the Great Sphinx, and the Great... well, everything.
But little did the world know, behind the grandeur and splendor, these pharaohs were secretly burning out.
They built the Great Library of Alexandria, but it was just a coping mechanism for their own emotional exhaustion.
They built the Great Wall of Giza, but it was just a barrier to block out the constant stream of "Can't you see I'm busy?!" from their advisors.
They built the Great Temple of Karnak, but it was just a place to hide from the constant pressure of being a deity.
But one pharaoh, Ramses II, took it to the extreme. He built a monument to his own ego, the Great Temple of the Sun God, but it was just a giant statue of himself with a "WIP" sign on it.
And so, the legend of the pharaohs who couldn't stop building lives on, a cautionary tale of the dangers of burnout.
