Photo taken by Glenn Sundby, editor of AcroSports Magazine - long before photoshop. This is not photoshopped. It is good old fashion sports photography and luck. The trampolinist is me while we were in Egypt on a promotional tour for Nissen, Inc, the company that made trampolines and gymnastic equipment. We went there to promote trampoline and gymnastics to Egyptian athletes.
Material : hexagon of colored kraft paper.
Variation on dice tessellation created by Ralf Konrad.
No new creases added to the dice model, I had just to pop up the little stars embedded into the design.
Result is like Owesen stars (sorry, Fredrik, no credit for you here) : these little stars are also part of Konrad's work, see here
Some other photos of dice tessellation and pyramid of stars here on my website.
Pyramid Island and Pyramid Mountain are reflected in Pyramid Lake, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

The Pyramid of the Magician (Spanish: Pirámide del adivino) is a Mesoamerican step pyramid located in the ancient, Pre-Columbian city of Uxmal, Mexico. The structure is also referred to as the Pyramid of the Dwarf, Casa el Adivino, and the Pyramid of the Soothsayer. The pyramid is the tallest and most recognizable structure in Uxmal. This Pyramid is very ancient to the Mayans.

This was my first overseas trip, and an incredible experience. I had a plastic Kodak Brownie camera which used 110 film cartridges (originally marketed as the Kodak Pocket A1), so the photos aren't great quality, but it's very cool to be able to scan and post them now.
Check out my cool white shorts. In my defence, I was 12 years old, and this was only one year after the 70s.
Few people bother to view the pyramids from this side as the vantage point requires an off track walk to a ridgeline a little to the west. The notes designate the route taken by tourists from graded tracks below.
The left Pyramid is accessed by climbers only. A good reference there is Robert Rankin's book, Secrets of the Scenic Rim.
Memphis, of course, is the old capital of Egypt. I didn't expect to see a pyramid in the one in US. It was a surprise.

To shelter and safeguard the part of a pharaoh's soul that remained with his corpse, Egyptians built massive tombs—but not always pyramids.
Before the pyramids, tombs were carved into bedrock and topped by flat-roofed structures called mastabas. Mounds of dirt, in turn, sometimes topped the structures.
