Monuments are special buildings available to Egyptian players only. There are five different monuments, each of increasing size and cost. Each monument provides a continual stream of favor. Players can build all five monuments to obtain a maximum income of favor from their gods.

Ancient Egypt was a wealthy civilization largely isolated from external enemies and this allowed a lavish expenditure for Monuments and other edifices that glorified gods and pharaohs. For several thousand years, major construction projects were underway almost continually, for the glorification of some god or ruler. The Nile Valley today is dotted with Monuments of all sizes. The most famous of these are the Pyramids, the ultimate tombs, and the Sphinx.
