Rameses II: The Unstoppable Builder

Meet Rameses II, the pharaoh who defied the laws of physics and sanity. He was so consumed by his own ego that he built the Great Pyramid of Giza using only his ego and a few well-placed tantrums.

Case Study: Rameses II's Building Antics

Rameses II's building methods were so unorthodox that they've been studied by experts in the field of 'Building-ology'. Here are some key takeaways:

He used only his own reflection in a polished obsidian mirror to measure the height of his pyramid.
He insisted on using only the finest imported Egyptian cotton for his construction workers' uniforms.
He held 17 impromptu press conferences to announce the 'almost-complete' status of the pyramid.

Other Notable Projects

The Short-Lived Cairo Canal (a waterway that was meant to connect the Nile to the Mediterranean, but kept collapsing)
The Sphinx-Sized Problem (a massive stone statue that kept growing larger and larger until it consumed the surrounding city)
