Why the Great Pyramid is the best monument:
The Red Pyramid has too many layers to stack, while the Great Pyramid is more hollow.
The Library of Alexandria has too many scrolls and information that not many Egyptians would be able to use. Going places wasn't that easy and only wealthier people knew how to read scrolls. Plus, why build something huge that will just crumble and have to be rebuilt?
The Luxor Temple will take too long to make, so while it is made to be peaceful, the pharaoh would have probably be dead by the time it was finished. Sphinxes take very long to carve, and the Luxor Temple will have rows of them!
Khafre was Khufu's son, and Khafre also had a pyramid (which was ordered by Khufu), so why ALSO have a sphinx that will take way longer?
The Mortuary Temple will be made out of the highest quality stone, which is VERY hard to acquire and carve!
A step pyramid does not look as smooth and will require the construction of a lot of mastaba tombs.
King Tut's Tomb will get robbed easily due to the very clear passageways and small, simple design.
