Ancient Wisdom

Megaliths to move? Barrows to build?
Planning a statue 80 cubits tall
in granite, lapis-lazuli and gilt?
Get new Ancient Wisdom™ for all
your astrological and funerary
construction needs. Don't settle for an urn —
a ziggurat's the stylish way to bury
your wives or sacred ibis. If you yearn
to launch a thousand tourist coaches, get
new Ancient Wisdom™ and as few
as three decades with pulleys, levers, sweat
and blood will make the monument for you!
Posterity will marvel at what you did.

'I used Ancient Wisdom™, and humble mortals despaired!'
– Ozymandias, king of kings.
'I was left in the lurch by cowboy builders from Sirius. But with Ancient Wisdom™, I managed to finish the job myself!'
– Cheops.
'I wish I'd used Ancient Wisdom™. I used a competing product, and boy, did I feel the wrath of Poseidon!'
– King of Thera.
