The buildings were added to add atmosphere to the game but they don't exist at the real pyramid complex.

Materials

My model is not an exact model that recreates every stone of the pyramid. I used materials to approximate the look of both the inside and outside of the pyramid.

Inaccuracies

Some of the inaccuracies are because I did not have complete information on the pyramid when making the model.

Below are the known inaccuracies but there are likely more. If you find more inaccuracies please leave them in the comments.

• No corbel walls in the grand gallery.
• The entrance to the queens chamber is to the left of the stairs and should be in the middle of the stairs.
• The passageways do not have stairs in the real pyramid.
• My great pyramid entrance is on the south side but on the real pyramid it is on the north side.
• The walls of the Descending Passage below the surface should not be lined with stones because it was carved out of the ground; however, I am not sure what it looks like.

I might correct some of these inaccuracies in the future with updates if there is enough interest in the game.
