Yes! We did! We have just finished the first great construction that will forever remind the world of the industrious folk of Legoland, sometimes called "The Builders".

All made of Lego blocks, I suppose. 
Good job Legos!

You know, the Pyramids were originally coated with a softer white stone (that unfortunately didn't pass the test of time), so originally the Pyramids didn't look like Inca temples, but the surfaces were flat. IIRC the tops were covered with ivory (Legoland wouldn't happen to have any, would it?  ), but raiders (European treasure hunters, I think) removed them hundreds of years ago.
Yours are still magnificent, though.

Shiber, the only reason that the original face stones (white Granate IIRC) on the pyramids didn't stand the test of time, was that they were stripped off by later natives to use in Cairo buildings.

Yep, that's why some of it is still at the topmost areas of the Pyramids. The locals couldn't reach that high.

Congratulations, Legoland!
In this same post Vox would like to apologize to the rest of the world for invading GS. If we had known it would bring the game to a grinding halt, we would have reconsidered.

How hard could it be....
Switch production in all cities to Chariots.
Give up the cities that are undefendable.
Retreat all forces to a defensable position.
There....I did it in 2 minutes.
Want more detail...post a map, and I will see what I can do !

Hey, when you have 50 cities, it takes some time
Or we could be like lux and abandon all the cities

OK - that excuse worked for the first turn - and maybe the second ....
If you like Vox has a number of plans we could send to you for the defence of GS.

Well, how many turns did you have to plot your betrayal? 10-15? AFter that its just march the immortals down the southern road and mass in d'ville, right? Our turns will be a lot shorter when we are tracing your footsteps back to the north

The key lesson here is to take your opponent in a mere month. The Coalition forces did that in Iraq and the Iraqis aren't taking near as long with their turns anymore.

Hey, that's Vondrack digging in the Pyramid, I recognize him! So the gossip is true, the Pyramids were created to serve as his tomb. 
Btw, this turn delay thing seems to be contagious. Now ND, the team right next to GS, has caught it, too.

Well, that might be hard to do - the worker in question has since been put to good use for "The One."
