The scene is nicely topical, and the interpretation artfully done.
Technically, it could use some refinement, however.... even just a little
texturing would help a lot.

I can feel the heat... those poor slaves, nothing but
toasted marshmellows... and all the same.

I thought thay had no wheels.

From sonya_roberts@geocities.com:
A good early effort.  Work on adding more detail (and doing the odd bit of research to maintain accuracy, and you should get some good results in future rounds.

From chipr@niestu.com:
Very strong color theme, works well.  I like the modeling on the people.  Did
the Egyptians use wheels?

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Convincing sense of distance.  And heat.  And hard work.
Innovative use of fog.  This is a fine image.

Pretty good first attempt. :{)
The main thing you need to focus on are more detailed textures. The little things.
The things you'd swear no one is going to pick out of a scene. Those are the
things that the eye and mind add up to say, "this is real".

Amazing yellowish aspect, especially the sky.
Your lighting is a bit simple, responsible for the lack of details.
Go on entering the IRTC, it's a very good way to improve your pictures!
Next time, try to get more information before you make the micture, and render it at 800x600.

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Very interesting image. Quite artistic but you 
really should have done a bit of research.

4 men could never, ever, pull a brick that size up a ramp that slope! Everyone
would have to pull against a force equivalent of several tons.

From lpurple@netcom.com:
Nice visual effect, with all the desert colors. The blurred figures
in the forground also work really well.

From r@cust169.webbernet.net>:
The sky is dramatic and impressive and the overall color scheme is very effective, but the slab design of the pyramids gives a "krinkly french fry" or "horrible antialiasing" impression that detracts from the image.  The overall design is unhistorical, but well planned.
