Menat Khufu starts with existing city

[Siva]

I reached the Menat Khufu mission and when I open it , it opens with an existing city, with the brick pyramid already built. I tried restarting the mission few times, still the same result.
Is this expected?

Yes, this is the setup.

Can it be a Cleopatra Mission? The devs have forgotten to implement the timer in the cleopatra missions and this may be one of them. Have to take a look.

[edit]
Ahh, no, no timed mission but ...

This one is not for the faint-hearted. There is already a Small Pyramid and a small settlement present when you arrive, as well as plenty of unemployment, but it’s a badly designed housing block that will suffer badly in terms of desirability and which won’t provide enough workers for the early burst you’ll need.

Thank you, this helps.
