Embrace the timeless and enduring allure of the Great Pyramid of Giza with this exquisite deck of playing cards; a living extension of the sole surviving wonder of the ancient world. The Third Volume in the series draws upon the geometry and permanence of the great pyramid.

This is a deck that honors the labor, and vision of a civilization that built for eternity.

Die-cut Window Tuck Box

The Great Pyramid, built around 2560 BCE as the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, is the sole surviving wonder of the ancient world. Constructed from over 2.3 million limestone and granite blocks, its precise alignment and mathematical sophistication continue to inspire wonder. For the ancient Egyptians, the pyramid was a bridge between earth and the heavens. It stands today as it has for over four thousand years.

We’ve captured the tomb's legendary essence in every detail. Intricate illustrations and metallic bronze accents, reflective of their bronze cast tools and weapons. Each card is etched with motifs inspired by the intricate ornamentation of feathered fans, inviting you to hold a fragment of its monumental beauty in your hands.

We have opted to give the same tuck box treatment to both STANDARD and SPECIAL Editions*

Card Back
