masons build the Fore Temple. To complete these ele-
ments, stonemasons need several sledge loads of sand-
stone delivered by peasants. While they are working
on the Fore Temple, Wall and Vestibule, stonemasons
install decorative tiles between the Walls.
Once the Fore Temple is complete and all the tiles have
been laid, the Sun Temple is finished.
Mausoleums
Mausoleums are large tombs used to inter pharaohs
and nobility.
To build a Mausoleum, supplies of sandstone and
wood are needed, plus at least one working Carpenters’
Guild, Stonemasons’ Guild and Work Camp.
To place a Mausoleum, there must first be a large
quantity of sandstone stored in the city’s Storage
Yards. Once enough stone is stored, choose
Mausoleum from the Religious Structures:
Monuments list. Place the Mausoleum, using the
color of the footprint as a guide (green means you can
place the structure, red means you cannot). Once
you’ve designated a place for the building, peasants
from the Work Camp clear the land and lay the foun-
dation.
Once the foundation is in place, stonemasons begin
work. Whenever a Storage Yard accumulates four
blocks of sandstone, peasants load the stone on a
sledge and drag it to the construction site.
Stonemasons put the stone in place until the first story
is completed. Then, carpenters install wooden ramps
so that the stonemasons can work on the second story

Guild, Stonemasons’ Guild and Work Camp.
Sun Temples start with a sandstone obelisk. Before the
obelisk can be built, adequate supplies of sandstone
must be stored in the city’s Storage Yards. Once there
is enough sandstone, the Sun Temple can be placed.
Choose Sun Temple from the Religious Structures:
Monuments list, and choose a location. If you have
chosen a good location, you will see a green footprint
of the monument. After you have chosen a good
location, construction of the sandstone obelisk within
the Sun Temple begins.
After the stone is placed, carpenters build scaffolding
around the obelisk. Then, stonemasons decorate the
sides of the sandstone obelisk. When they have fin-
ished the obelisk, they begin work on the remainder of
the Sun Temple. First, they build a Vestibule and then
a stone Wall. After the Wall is complete, the stone-
