The inside of the palace is completely covered in gold.  There are ornate chandeliers hanging everywhere and there is food on golden tables all hours of the day.  The king also ordered everyone to always wear gold clothing and paint there faces gold.

I'm an Egyptian currently working with my people. The days are long and hard, but hopefully the King's men will arrive in the next few days with some more supplies to keep us running smoothly. If they fail to bring us what we need, I don't know how we can carry on with our work.
I hate it when people say they can walk like an Egyptian, it's very discriminatory, and I petition you dear king to put a stop to it.  I would also ask that you send us some more supplies, so that we can finish that great work you comissioned. It is a hard custom to stop, unfortunately. Citizens will even sing a certain melody when they say that nowadays. Before I hear your complaint, you will have to wear these golden clothes. I shall do as you command, your highness. Good, good. Now, what supplies do you require to finish the sphinx? I was told the project was going well. It is, but the estimates were all off.  If we do not get more stone, the Sphinx will be constructed without a nose. My wife will kill me if this was to happen! Noses are all she talks about. Well then, we will need to increase our budget by 12 percent. I don't like this, I don't like this at all. I cannot afford to spend more on the sphinx, my golden palace is not even entirely made of gold yet! I still have boring regular carpets. Well, it will be without a nose - what will your wife think? She can sell all her jewelry if she wants a nose for her sphinx, for all I care. Unless you know where to get more stone for cheap? Well, we could always switch to sandstone.  It's cheap and carves easily, but is susceptible to erosion and will wear quickly over time. Cheap, you say? I like it. Go ahead and complete it in sandstone, the sphinx will probably be buried by sandstorms before it erode away anyways.
