I would bet that Microsoft put in the buildings. They tend to be prone to self advertising. I haven't looked for them myself though. The pyramids I doubt. Microsoft only put in a couple historical attractions. No wall in China. No Angel Falls. No Victoria Falls. Most things like that they left up to scenery designers to create. Actually they weren't too careful to reproduce much beyond the USA and even there a number of well known things are missing or only a shadow of reality ie Devil's Tower.

Dakota_flyer,

That article is about FS2000 ..... not fs2004.  Just in case you missed that fact.  Likely many locations are the same....... but it is possible that some aren't there....and others that aren't listed on the page you gave ARE there.

best,

..................john
