Ancient Monument of Art and Music
In Egypt, water is life, and what is life without Art? Artists, you will turn the life-giving water of Egypt into a thing of beauty. Build and arrange decorative basins, and in each of them construct a fountain. Fill the structure with water and watch it take on a life of its own as the water sprays from the fountains and pours from the basins, one into another. In search of serene beauty, amusing interactions, or thunderous amazement, the citizens of Egypt will visit and judge your work, and the most highly regarded creations will advance.
Ancient Monument of Thought
A great discovery from Tyana! A series of ancient tablets, inspired by Thoth himself, have been unearthed. If deciphered, these tablets could reveal the secrets of the philosopher's stone and life itself. Unfortunately the text is so cryptic, that even the hieroglyphs themselves were not written down, but are obscured by an empty grid and numeric code. Mastering this code is the first step to discovering the secrets that Thoth graced our ancestors with. An Alchemist's Rune (more commonly known as a nonogram) is a 10x10 square filled in. Individual numbers indicate how many of those cells need to be adjacent to each other, while a comma indicates that there is a gap of one or more cells. The rune designer is given a 10x10 grid to work on, and can choose between one and three colors. Clicking within a cell fills it in, clicking again cycles to the next color or blank. After creating their desired rune, the processor generates the clues along the borders and the puzzle can be opened to the public. Note, it is entirely possible that any particular rune might have multiple valid solutions! Hence being able to finish and judge a puzzle should rely on filling in the grid in such a fashion that it meets the requirements, even if that does not match the designer's initial layout.
Ancient Monument of Worship

The gods have thrown down the challenge and present you with the Test of the Humble Priests. You must humble yourself before your gods, 5 will chose you and test your devotion. Gather together with other priests chosen by your gods and travel to their Temples to dedicate yourselves to them by performing various small sacrifes, rituals, actions, tasks and prayers.
