“Reverse-building” workshop—carving a pyramid out of one giant rock
{
  "input": {
    "prompt": " Illustration in a pseudo-archaeological textbook style: a massive bedrock outcrop with a half-finished pyramid shape emerging as workers chisel away the outside. Show stone-cutting teams using copper chisels, mallets, and stone pounders; debris piles around the base. Composition should clearly communicate “sculpting down” rather than stacking blocks. Add small humorous labels in the margin (e.g., “Remove everything that isn’t pyramid”) in a period-appropriate diagram aesthetic."
