Four months final project.

The number of paper clay tablets  adds to a few hundreds. Not all of the clay tablets are with drawings and inscription on them. Taking the inspiration from The Australian of that period 1999 news.  The Kosovo war, President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Monica Lewinsky. Strangely enough, there more tablets of Hillary Clinton then of any person, in abstract inscription of course.

Time constraints was very acute at that time, as I had to do everything myself. When the time for the inscriptions on the clay tables, which was the first thing in the morning. I could only allocate less than 30 seconds each to take each from storage, read and inspired by the paper, inscribe and back to storage and on to the next one. I only allocate just over one hour a day for this task, as I still had to build the pyramid.

At some point, I will put the some of the CAD plans and a 3D model on the page. Still have some of the clay tablets and the steel structure. The images have been lost, so anybody who likes to share images of this project to be put on this page and by credited, they will be much appreciated.
