The Pyramids of Egypt:
Preflighting at Giza Airport, Pyramids in the background.
The Pyramids of Giza are often called one of the seven wonders of the
world. In Flight Simulator 98 there are several pyramids visible from the
airport at Giza (Embaba) (HEEM) but little or no mention is made of them. A
single situation file allows us to tour the area from the air. We know from
the desciption in the situation file that these are the "famous" Pyramids of
Giza. What most people probably don't realize is these aren't the only
pyramids that are found in FS98, more can be seen further south. We are
going to examine all the pyramids and explain which pyramids they are, who
built them, and when. We're also going to look over the famous "Sphinx" that
faces the rising sun over the Nile. I'm going to take this time to point out that
the pyramids that were placed in the Flight Simulator 98 scenery were done
with excellent accuracy. I used actual GPS coordinates to infer which pyramid
was being represented in the scenery.

Ontake is a major sacred mountain, and following older shamanistic practices, actors and artists have gone to the mountain to put themselves into trances in order to get divine inspiration for their creative activities.
