A player has taken fans back in time with their imposing pyramid construction through the voxel-based world of Minecraft. In a game where a player is limited only by their imagination, this is the latest in a long line of impressive builds within Mojang's genre-defining hit, Minecraft.
It has been a long, strange, and fascinating road since the first public release of Minecraft back in 2009. Going through generations of content updates, new engines, spin-offs, and multiple releases, the greatest-selling game of all time never lost its trademark charm. Giving players an unshackled sandbox world to shape as they see fit, Minecraft remains the epitome of timeless gaming, with boundless scope in its possibilities, made even more infinitely replayable by its ever-active modding community and user-created multiplayer game modes.
Reddit user SippingOnThatTrueTea shared their latest Minecraft build online to the overwhelming approval of fans. The incredible tour through multiple eras of history includes monuments inspired by the pyramids of Egypt and the Temple of Hatshepsut, as well as the Roman theater at Palmyra and the Islamic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. According to SippingOnThatTrueTea, this awe-inspiring build has been in the works ever since the release of version 1.8 of Minecraft, which places their active development time just shy of nine years to date. The incredible dedication required to create a build so intricate over such a long period of time is an inspiring testament to what gamers can accomplish in their favorite titles when given the right tools.

SippingOnThatTrueTea's feat is the latest in a decade-spanning string of phenomenal architectural artistry within the countless seeded worlds of Minecraft. From 1:1 recreations of entire real-world cities, the most famous fictional settings of cinema and literature, to remaking Doom's Fortress of Doom in Minecraft, Mojang's premiere title is every bit as much a medium for art as it is a work of art. While fans eagerly await the release of 1.20 in Minecraft, which will release sometime later in 2023, and will feature numerous requested features, including ridable camels as well as an archaeology system, there is no shortage of content in gaming's most ubiquitous sandbox.
There are more impressive constructions in Minecraft than can be mentioned, and when one stands out as truly remarkable, it is a feat worthy of praise. SippingOnThatTrueTea's dedication to crafting a small slice of history will certainly be the inspiration for many creative Minecraft builds to come.
Minecraft is available now for PC, PS4, Mobile, Switch, Xbox One, and legacy consoles.
