Task
Your task is to create a pyramid for a pharaoh that never got buried. He fell out of his casket before he was placed in the pyramid that was made for him, and he was never put in there, because the guy that was supposed to carry the casket was tired and didn't notice the pharaoh was gone. The people thought that they put him in there but they just put an empty casket in there.
Process
The heighth of your pramid should be five inches and up. The width of your pyramid should 3 inches and up. You can make your pyramid in whatver materials that you feel are suitable, but do not use industrial materials(metal rods, wooden boards/blocks, etc.). Good luck!
