@@ASFS08 Its actually amazing how much of the structures are still left over 4000 years later. Cleopatra lived closer to our present lifetime than to the egyptians who built these pyramids.

At the museum of the Parthenon that sits at the bottom of the actual one in Athens, they actually have a giant custom made lego model of the whole Parthenon as it used to look like which is very white with accents of colors (all the antique statues were painted back then). If I remember correctly, the thing is pretty much minifig scale. So, if you visit Greece some day... you know where to go.
@@jdfromparis6230 That sounds awesome, I have sadly had a few trips to Greece, Rome and Sicily being sadly cancelled due to Covid. When I travel I will definitely check this out!
Just like the real pyramid, if you leave it in the sun for too many years, the white pyramid will become a tan pyramid. A really cool feature, I dont get why they dont advertise it on the box!
It's impressive, and the added details of the village and Nile are a fine touch for sure. but I really do wish that Architecture had more content than one cityscape and one set a year.
*I would have loved if they included a whole Pyramid, not just a half of it. It looks quite good though, I really like the idea of how it opens up, that's amazing!*
@@Principal_Behaviour Idk if its just me but i think a company like Lego should be able to give me a set that for this much of a price is actually constructed in a way that doesnt rely me to Cover up their mistakes
@@kotkafer2292 Well, It is their choice to make/charge as (much) they see fit, and your choice whether or not to accept those terms. I was merely offering an alternative way of displaying the existing set.
This is a super amazing looking set, and I love the attention to detail like the worker's village. Just... I don't think the nile is that close to the pyramids
Its way larger then i expected. Its a shame its not a full pyramid, but i love the interior of the semi build pyramid and the overall design is amazing. My mom and I are really into ancient egyptian mythology and history, so were definitly getting this.
It would be quite neat if this golden tip used actually chrome gold pieces, since it's what? 2 roof-like pieces only? It wouldn't be a big deal, but it's just me. A neat addition.
The fact they revealed it about a week after the final of moon knight which show the pyramids quite a bit in it is weird but I can’t complain but if people use this for moon knight animations will be sick
Interesting design, and wasn't expecting it to be be historically based with the white smooth finish. Still very cool release, and fantastic surrounding landscape. with the village, Nile, and boat builds.
As a fanatic of ancient Egypt I'll be picking this set up. Love the construction of the pyramid under the original. Interesting fact, the white stone exterior was made of granite and all three pyramids has them. The granite was thought to have been looted, and that's not well known. I geeked out when I saw that the pyramid was white.
It is a beautiful set. I love the Nile river being there. In antiquity, the Nile was in a different place, and canals were built that lead right up to the pyramid. When the Nile flooded in Summer it was when the stones were transported to Giza. Unfortunately, the Pyramid isn't white anymore because all the limestone got stripped off by later civilizations. :( Hah, it was prestigious job, but the workers also got paid in bread and beer! :)
The white isn’t because its “new” the pyramid used to be covered in a sort of cover stone/cap that achieved this very same effect, but many stones were stolen and others were eroded away by wind
That doesn’t mean it’s not amazing, recently, as I’ve said in other videos, I’ve been cooling down on buying sets right away, especially D2Cs like this one. I have a major backlog, and as I said in this vid, Architecture sets stick around a while anyways.
are people really still taught that the pyramids were built by slaves? surely not in this day and age, here in the uk when i was at school in the early 2000s we were taught that this was an actual desirable job people wanted to work on something for royalty and the people who worked on it were treated rather well
American evangelical fundamentalists teach this bs to this day and you can find some in the comments under this video. As a studied historian and classical philologist (latin + greek) I hate these willfully ignorant people. Not only because they are factually wrong about what happened 4,000 years ago, but because very often the exact same people use the same f...d up anti-intellectual thought process to spread hate against minorities.
@@tallietorchersproductions2740 Sad to hear how bad murican education even outsise the bible belt often is. Either your teacher was a fundamentalist evangelical or learnt this uncritically from fundamentalist evangelicals, lol

YUP whoops lol
Great just2good @
The real reason that Giza looks decayed now is because everyone took the limestone and used it for other projects. Same deal with the Colosseum
Also, there was an earthquake at one point where it ruined the bricks
@@ASFS08 Its actually amazing how much of the structures are still left over 4000 years later. Cleopatra lived closer to our present lifetime than to the egyptians who built these pyramids.
Ok I admit it, I took the marble from the colosseum, I took the bricks from the great pyramid of Giza, it was me, it was all me
@@ASFS08 i think there was a cataclysm 12,500 yrs ago that:
A) leveled almost* everything standing on Earth

Tbh I expected it to look more like sand colors shown on the real image on the box, but the white and gold makes it look so much cleaner
The pyramids used to be marble coated and capped in gold until people looted the materials.
It's also more accurate because it did look like this.
@@TheSonOfRyan no, it wasn’t marble. It was polished limestone.
@@Mathias-cq4gl both are accurate
Hoping for a Parthenon. As a person looking to continue ancient history into uni, I would snap that up in a moment!
I studied history and latin and today I work at a Bricklink seller. Perfect qualification XD
That would be cool

Not accurate at all.
@@vwgti303 this comment wasnt intended to be accurate but to be funny ; )
@@pi172 Sorry…with some of the idiocy I see online it’s hard to tell sometimes. My apologies.
This is a really nice set, I think the microscale works pretty well for this design.
Yeah! It’s pretty cool!
Ikr
It's impressive, and the added details of the village and Nile are a fine touch for sure. but I really do wish that Architecture had more content than one cityscape and one set a year.
Since they did this pyramid, I'd love if they would do the pyramids from the Aztec empire.
*I would have loved if they included a whole Pyramid, not just a half of it. It looks quite good though, I really like the idea of how it opens up, that's amazing!*
Buy two of them :)
Why not simply display the set against a mirror to create a full pyramid?
@@Principal_Behaviour actually an ingenious idea

According to Brickset's review of the set, the black shape on the back is meant to represent passages inside the pyramid.
It looks pretty good for an Architecture set, but I prefer minifig scaled things with actual figures to make it lively.
How would they sell a Lego set of that scale?
“I wish this was minifigure scale”
So…..you want it to fill your room?
It’d literally be over 10ft
I feel like Marvel’s “Moon Knight” is what got me into this…
"Take the body Marc"
If this were minifigure-scale, it would cost way more.
If this were minifigure scale it would be the size of a room
Indeed. At minifigure scale, it would be over 10ft (3m) high!
I think Justin doesn't realise how big a pyramid is in real life
This is a super amazing looking set, and I love the attention to detail like the worker's village.
Just... I don't think the nile is that close to the pyramids
it used to be very close to them a couple of thousand years ago
Was not expecting Lego to make it like ancient Egypt with the quartz and the gold top
Its way larger then i expected. Its a shame its not a full pyramid, but i love the interior of the semi build pyramid and the overall design is amazing. My mom and I are really into ancient egyptian mythology and history, so were definitly getting this.
Display it against a mirror. Easy solution and won't take up twice the space.
I love how it shows it in its prime
It even has a hidden image of king tut going for a wicked slam dunk in the back.
As an ancient history major
This is a MUST buy lol it’s gorgeous
It would be quite neat if this golden tip used actually chrome gold pieces, since it's what? 2 roof-like pieces only? It wouldn't be a big deal, but it's just me. A neat addition.
It is chrome gold its just hard to tell from the shots

Sphynx should have just been a molded piece.
Interesting design, and wasn't expecting it to be be historically based with the white smooth finish. Still very cool release, and fantastic surrounding landscape. with the village, Nile, and boat builds.
Now I wish they do Teotihuacan in it's ancient time with all the red and teal colors.

I came for the new lego set, I stayed for just2good's history lesson.
lol
Minifigures scale would have been like $2,000 and I would have loved it
Dude a minifig scale pyramid of Giza would be like 10 feet tall
2:46 Does anyone else notice that the internal structure looks like a running black stickman hunched over with his arms up 😂
This might be the first architecture set that I'll buy. But there are already so many awesome sets revealed for the summer and many more to come....
Tiago Catarino also did a review of the set today, if you want to see some of the smaller details more closely in reality rather than picture.
This is a great set but 130 dollars seems too much. even if it were to be smaller, i think 80 or even 100 would've been the sweetspot.
That DOES look pretty awesome
That looks awesome! I want to get it when it comes out.
So cool
I used to have that Pharoh's Quest pyramid but I sold it at least 7 years ago
Love how it's modeled after how it appeared in ancient times!
This looks very cool I would not notice some stuff you brought up
Love the mario land Egyptian music in the back ground
This looks amazing! Now I want them to make one of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul
It is a beautiful set.
I love the Nile river being there. In antiquity, the Nile was in a different place, and canals were built that lead right up to the pyramid. When the Nile flooded in Summer it was when the stones were transported to Giza.
Unfortunately, the Pyramid isn't white anymore because all the limestone got stripped off by later civilizations. :(
Hah, it was prestigious job, but the workers also got paid in bread and beer! :)
Damn, I kinda want this
People don't realise that the pyramids were originally coated by limestones
Sweet! Cool that it comes with a version with/without British Colonizer theft.
MOON KNIGHT SET YESssSssSsSSsSssSsS
Much better than imagined this set was going to be.
It’s beautiful 🤩
💯 set...👍
This is the closest we will get to a MoonKnight Lego set
Finally!! Lego Moon Knight sets!!!
The white isn’t because its “new” the pyramid used to be covered in a sort of cover stone/cap that achieved this very same effect, but many stones were stolen and others were eroded away by wind
Still asking for that crystalized set thoughts video
Perfect timing when this comes out.
It looks very nice. 😍
This set actually looks good
So cool!!!!
*Moon Knight theme started playing intensively*
This looks awesome! I will be getting one when it releases
Hasn't @Tiago Catarino made a detailed video about it?
I wanted some Egyptian hieroglyphs pieces what would of been cool
I have the pharos quest set but it got taken apart, and the base plate broke
The Optimus prime leak fast Justin fast!!!!!
This set is amazing! It looks really great!
I want a full pyramid 😖
I absolutely love this!! Definitely picking this one up. Will look great with a printed backdrop of Egypt for a display.
You could also use a mirror as a backdrop to create a full pyramid.
I want to get one of the 3rd party moon knight minifigs and Khonshu to hide in it
OMGGGG NEET IT RIGHT NOW!!!!
Dope set
I might save up for a Moon Knight moc.
If this is what they were planning instead of new Indiana Jones I guess I can wait for 2023 releases a bit more.
Now I'm torn between this and the long ship. Or I'm torn between getting both or getting two pyramids.
If you set it against a mirror you won't need two pyramid sets.
This set looks very cool, I didn’t know he knew this much about Egypt Justin!!!😃👍
Yes more history lego
Where is the KFC? They missed their chance to include it.
so are there any accessible chambers?
Where’s the Moon Knight Minifigure?
What a awesome video Just2Good and I definitely like the build 😀 but I don't think that I will be picking it up at the Lego store.
I used to build Lego Pryamids as a kid lol . I don't think white quite captures it lol
Now I finally get the colour of the real piramid. They started out with white lego bricks, but then the sun... 🤔😜
Awesome video just2good
That looks pretty awesome.
Reminds me of Pharaohs quest
That axel connection is it really for the same set? Or they have some surprises for us in the futures?
What could the surprise even be tho?
Does it have the Ennead
Were they tombs though...?
I love this
thumbnail: OKAY THIS IS AMAZING.
*click on video*: "I won't rush out to get this one"

Why do I feel like half the people are going to buy this waiting for the moon knight figured to come out
Wonder if someone's gonna print out a big bass pro shop sticker for this....

YES
So Cool

Ngl I like it but I would have preferred the look we have nowadays as a set.
With interior tomb details etc
We need more Seven wonders of the ancient world In Lego form
Problem is that its hard to come up with realistic designs if we dont even know how half of them looked like
