Vashtar: So it’s finished. A structure to house one man and the greatest treasure of all time. Senta: And a structure that will last for all time. Vashtar: Only history will tell that. Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered? Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.
