Such revelations have led Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities and a National Geographic explorer-in-residence, to note that in one sense it was the Pyramids that built Egypt-rather than the other way around. If the Pyramids helped to build ancient Egypt, they also preserved it. Giza allows us to explore a long-vanished world. 'In these decorated tombs you have wonderful scenes of every aspect of life in ancient Egypt-so it's not just about how Egyptians died but how they lived.' 'Many people think of the site as just a cemetery in the modern sense, but it's a lot more than that,' says Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Tufts University Egyptologist Peter Der Manuelian. Tomb art includes depictions of ancient farmers working their fields and tending livestock, fishing and fowling, carpentry, costumes, religious rituals, and burial practices. Inscriptions and texts also allow research into Egyptian grammar and language. 'Almost any subject you want to study about Pharaonic civilization is available on the tomb walls at Giza,' Der Manuelian says. To help make these precious resources accessible to all, Der Manuelian heads the Giza Archives Project, an enormous collection of Giza photographs, plans, drawings, manuscripts, object records, and expedition diaries that enables virtual visits to the plateau.Apparently there is a flawless strategy in civ5 and if you apply it correctly, winning on deity is rather easy.

And you don't even have to make some special settings for the game. Just I have to warn that its much more fun if you discover it yourself rather than get it from internet, as in that way it kind of ruins your game experience as it did to me to some level. The easiest way (as Irony Man correctly pointed out) is setting the map type to archipelago, as AI is totally hopeless on water. Just expand all the time, build some naval units to fend off any aggressive AIs, grab those resources, trade and develop. You should be able to get any kind of victory quite easily. You can also use continents or Pangaea maps. You need to apply a flawless strategy to get a win on those. A strategy might be slightly different depending on which faction you are playing, but there are some basic rules which work for all of them. The specific faction strategy is to get the most of the special ability. That means if you are playing for English - build naval units, if you are playing for French - build a lot of small cities, if you are playing for Romans - build all that is needed in Rome, etc. My winning initial build order is worker-settler-scout.
