The monuments which are built in Pharaoh and Cleopatra include:

  • Mastaba tombs: First monument in the game. Small, medium, and large mastaba tombs are constructed in various early missions.
  • Stepped pyramid: The first stepped pyramid is build at Saqqara.
  • Grand stepped pyramid: An optional mission allows the player to construct a burial complex containing a grand stepped pyramid as well as a small stepped pyramid as their own personal tomb.
  • Bent pyramid: Optional mission to construct this unusual pyramid design. Can be skipped if the player chooses a military mission in lieu.
  • True pyramid: The first true pyramid is a required mission
  • Great pyramid of Giza: The Great pyramid is constructed, along with a medium sized second pyramid and the sphinx.
  • Mudbrick pyramids: Later game pyramids, somewhat less grand than the pyramids of old
  • Grand Mudbrick Pyramid: One of the last missions of the original Pharaoh game requires the player to build this monument.
  • Sphinx: Constructed at the same time as the Great Pyramid
  • Sun Temple: A rare type of monument constructed during the Middle Kingdom
  • Mausoleums: Royal above ground burial temples, build during the middle missions of the game, and again in the last of the Cleopatra missions.
  • Caesareum: A larger type mausoleum, built in Alexandria in one of the last game missions
  • Obelisks: Small and large obelisks are constructed, most often in border cities
  • Royal burial tombs: Four different sizes for four different pharaohs of the New Kingdom.
  • Abu Simbel: Constructed during a middle campaign of the Cleopatra expansion
  • Great Library of Alexandria: A late game monument
  • Lighthouse of Alexandria: The last monument constructed in the game

Monuments generally require a lot of time, effort and space to complete. The most time-consuming stage of monument construction is the acquisition of building materials, mostly granite, limestone or plain stone. These can be obtained at quarries, which require a large workforce.
