Legends speak of a Billiards Pharaoh who once ruled ancient Egypt, way before King Tut or that Cleopatra chick. It’s said he demanded the four walls of his royal playroom be torn down - and in their place, a giant pyramid be built instead! Why? For better geometry AND sick angles, of course.

With the help of 100 slaves, his vision was finally achieved. The mammoth pyramid was constructed by stacking heavy blocks etched with hieroglyphics. Lapis Lazuli was meticulously carved into sacred scarab beetles and embedded within. As a finishing touch, the Pharaoh’s viziers even had an artisan craft a secret vault to keep the golden billiard balls safe from intruders. When he finally played billiards inside the breathtaking structure, tears of joy streamed down his face as bagpipe music filled the air!
