Egypt II: The Heliopolis Prophecy

Pyramid: Challenge of the Pharoah's Dream is an educational game about Ancient Egypt. Your character will be guided by two of the most important gods: Anubis and Ra. The objective? Make the pharaoh's dream come true: build the pyramid for his eternal rest.

In order to do this you'll have to use the tools of the time, such as plumb-bobs and squares for construction. In other situations you'll have to use other techniques such as determining the true north by following the stars or learning how to make papyrus.

You will advance through the game by collecting scrolls, your recompenses for complete each test on the game. Every time you complete a test, you win a scroll. Give enough scrolls to Anubis and Ra, and they'll let you advance to another part of the game. [source:mobygames]
