Faiyum Monuments

thingiverse

Replace the wooden monument bricks with some simple 3d models. The 2 piece obelisk is based on the Obelisk of Senusret I, which as far as I can tell is the obelisk represented on the game board. Today it stands in the middle of a roundabout, after being restored and re-erected. https://fayoumegypt.com/obelisk-of-senusret-i/ The 3 piece colossus is a giant version of the worker meeple. The actual colossus was far beyond my modeling ability to reproduce, and difficult to break into 3 parts. So you get a bit of whimsy instead. The 5 piece pyramid is based on the dimensions of the pyramid of Amenemhet III, which is western pyramid on the game board. To keep things simple both pyramids use this pyramids dimensions, although Senusret II's pyramid to the east is actually a bit shorter. If you feel you need the be dimensionally accurate, the dimensions are included in the .scad files. Both of these pyramids were built from mud bricks, and cased in limestone. Today the limestone has been stripped away by looters, and crumbling mud brick mountains are what remain. You will need to print: 1 - obelisk 1 - colossus 2 - pyramid tops 8 - pyramids bases (v2 has a some extra wiggle room)
