No video cameras back in those days! It took me over a year, because there were breaks and interuptions. If I estimate the total working time, then I would estimate it were the later afernoons and early evenings of 3-4 months. Many pieces were made twice when i ruined them during processing, which happened especially in the beginning. You learn by doing. You are not born as a skilled worker. My grandfather only answered questions, and only helped where I indeed was helpless. Getting those figurines, for exmaple.

Here are two old photos of the first pyramid I made, a small one, the ground plate is around 30x20. Very first try, and thus very simple structure.

And here is a photo of the upper floor of the big pyrmaid in the vidoe, where the movie shows just darkness. this reminded me of that long time ago, 15 y<ears or longer, I seem to have tlaked about this pyrmaid before already, and maybe have posted photos of it back then. I am not certain. I realised it just because I looked up these old photos. That upper floor figure is the hidden gem amonst the figuriones used.Very fragike carving. Czech-made, I seem to recall, but I am not certain.
