And now we are done! Congratulate the Winners!

Our search has ended to find the best players, the most innovative, the fastest and the best in the Two Lands. All the Egyptian Nation and Pharaoh Heaven is now ready to crown the Grand Winner, the Most Glorious of all Pharaohs and pay homage to the Court of Winners. These contests were designed to offer opportunities for each to show their many skills and compete with peers.

Pharaoh has searched for a worthy successor and reliable subjects to carry on his work. He has found those with military skills, but also great economic experts, masters of trade and commerce. He has found those who can build beautiful cities as well as those who can find innovative and daring solutions to pressing problems.

These winners have shown Pharaoh what they have learned through countless hours of hauling stones, micro-managing storage yards, and yelling at cartpushers. Drawn on the vast knowledge accumulated reading forum posts, designing housing blocks, counting tiles and calculating production rates. The time has come to praise and congratulate the winners. We honor the following competitiors for their outstanding achievements.

The contest is now closed - July 28, 2000
