Pyramids of Giza
As you step out of Time Machine 7, you are hit by a wave of heat. You and Ms. Bamboo are draped in white to reflect the sun’s heat so both of you can stay cool. In the distance you can see a giant pyramid with two smaller pyramids. An Egyptian brings a camel to you and you get on, thus beginning your journey to the Pyramids of Giza. Meanwhile, Ms. Bamboo stays behind to sunbathe.
After traveling for three hours, you have finally arrived at the site of the pyramids. The largest pyramid, or the Great Pyramid, stands before you. You look up and are blinded by the shining gold peak of the pyramid. When you regain your sight, you see the Egyptian king before you. The pharaoh steps out of a mass of palm leaves used for shade and the queen follows him.
Then the king greets you, “Welcome to the Pyramids of Giza.”
