LEGO Architecture 21058 Great Pyramid of Giza Officially Revealed | Summer 2022

As was rumoured only a few weeks ago, the next LEGO Architecture set has been officially revealed becoming the second LEGO Architecture set of 2022. The set in particular is based on the Great Pyramid of Giza and how the pyramid complex looked 4000 years ago today. Because of the detail that has gone into replicating this historic monument, 1476 pieces are included retailing for $129.99 from 1st June 2022.

Just like the real thing all those years ago, the LEGO version is built mainly with white bricks and features a golden keystone right at the entrance of the pyramid. This all fits on to a classic LEGO Architecture diorama being around 46 studs wide and 30 studs deep and being surrounded by a narrow black frame that includes a printed name tile of "The Great Pyramid of Giza".

In the foreground of the diorama, there's the river Nile that stretches the whole width of the set with two different sized ships sailing across it. In the middle of the river is a temple-like jetty which is connected by a path to the entrance of the pyramid in the background. Next to the river are two other smaller pyramids, several small houses and lots of palm trees from loads of different ranges of green.

However, the actual Great Pyramid of Giza which takes up most of the set, is only half of the pyramid itself as the inside is open. Here we can see the King and Queen's chambers along with a large gallery and airshafts. Technic holes are included at the back of the set so that if you get two of 21058 they can be connected to create a big pyramid and diorama.
