[Monument builders]
Every man of power has a need to raise a monument to himself. Of course, formally it may be for the glory of some god or for some public benefit, but the real reason is for the man of power to have a nice, brilliant monument so that people will remember him when he dies. Or her? How many female monument builders are there? It was easier before. One just invested a large amount of ones holdings in a huge tomb like a pyramid and then instructed ones servants to place one there after death together with ones most precious belongings. One fact along the same lines is that communism, despotism and monarchy generates far more splendid buildings than democracy. Rulers that spend too much on unnecessary buildings will certainly not be reelected.
