Before the Deluge: Building the Original Pyramids #57 out of 68

Entry in the Ancient Power challenge.

About this image

This epic digital fantasy artwork reimagines an advanced ancient Egyptian civilization, anchored by a massive gilded pyramid pulsing with bright blue magical energy. Robed wise figures stand on high stone platforms overlooking a sprawling metropolis of obelisks, domed temples, and glowing winding rivers. Flying saucers and golden airships drift through a dramatic sunburst sky, with floating crystalline artifacts circling the central pyramid.

I noticed GPT's better loo back at NC. I coudn't access it there and a friend reffered me to BP because all models were free here. From the time I came to BP I did excludively my imges with GPT. When it went for paying usrs only, it was a blow. I have some very few free images with GPT in various others sites and I reserve them to do comic book pages, because GPT 2 ns 2.5 are the only ones that do tem right. On BP, I use mainly yhe Seedream 5.0 flash who is cheap on credits and has a great look too.

Thank you, my friend. I spent a lot of time which of the variants to choose. Perhaps I did not do the right choice. I will post the rest this evening and you may judge.

I liked the surreal floating elements - a an ancient boat contrasted against the UFO. Cool image

Very cool. Love the retrofuturistic Egypt. I want to cruise on that flying barque!

Yes, I completely understand, something similar happened to me with NC and BP
