Wow.  That'd be neat : )  My wife keeps yelling at me to move the one I
built in yellow bricks and it's only 68 studs on a side right now (hollow
too) ...  I don't think a minifig scale pyramid would even fit in my house :

Having just returned from vacation in Egypt, combined with the • availability
of bulk tan bricks, I thinking about building a minifig scale model of the
Giza plateau.

Then I figured it would take nearly 9 million 4x2 bricks to build a solid
model of the great pyramid.
I also calculate that would take around 1 year to assemble - 1 brick per
second, 300 8 hour days.

But a hollow one could be constructed with less than 100,000 bricks.

Of course, if Lego would like to donate them, I would start straight away
