Stone to Stars
Demo buildScroll back 4,600 years. The pyramids of Giza come down one by one until the ground is bare rock.
The brief
A history page is usually a wall of text. This one tells the story with the scroll. You land at Giza today. Scroll, and the years run backward, block by block, to the day before the first stone was cut.
What I built
- A year counter in the corner that runs from today back to 2580 BC
- The pyramids come down one by one, the Great Pyramid turns white again, then the ground goes back to bare rock
- Five scenes in one page, with Seedance films for the river and the Sphinx
- A carved logo with real hieroglyph signs, and a pyramid standing in for the A in Stars
- A tall poster for phones, so the first screen is never a squeezed wide shot
What a customer walks into
-
Keep scrolling and Giza is bare sand. The counter shows the job ahead: 2,300,000 blocks. - The scroll position drives the year. Scroll up and time runs forward again.
- The scenes are drawn in code from layered pictures, so each pyramid can leave on its own.
- The river and the Sphinx are short films made with Seedance 2.5 on Higgsfield.
- The light comes from the side, like late afternoon, so the stone reads as stone.

How it was built, and what broke
What it is
Stone to Stars is a one-page story about why the Great Pyramid was built. The scroll is the storyteller. The first screens take you back 4,600 years, and the page goes on from there.
What is real and what is not
It is a demo built to show what a story page can do. The scenes were made for this page with AI tools, and the history comes from the record: the stone, the river, the crews and the king.
