[aus der Wikipedia]:
Die Transamerica Pyramid ist ein Wahrzeichen von San Francisco. Mit 260 Metern Höhe und 48 Stockwerken mit Verkaufs- und Büroräumen war sie bis 2018, zur Fertigstellung des Salesforce Towers, das höchste Gebäude San Franciscos. Die Bauarbeiten an dem Gebäude begannen 1969 und wurden 1972 beendet. Das Hochhaus diente lange Zeit als Hauptsitz der Transamerica Corporation, die den Bau in Auftrag gab. Der Architekt des Gebäudes ist William Pereira. Außer der Lobby im Erdgeschoss ist das Gebäude für die Öffentlichkeit nicht zugänglich.
Found at the main gate of Belvedere Palace, Vienna.
Six such pyramids adorn either side of the gate of Schloß Belvedere - twelve in all. A sacred number, and the pyramids are surely also no coincidence. Masons trace their origins and traditions back to the pyramid-builders of ancient Egypt.

An image of a small, beautifully formed Pyramidal Orchid from two summers ago.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
This orchid has bright, conspicuous colouring and a very distinct pyramidal shaped flower spike during its early development. Although the flower spike can lose it's compact appearance with age, I still think POs are one of our easier wild orchids to identify.
Comesperma ericinum
Known as Matchheads, Pyramid Flower, Pink Matchheads or Heath Milkwort. I like Pyramid Flower in this case :)
The flower crop is spectacular this year isn't it - that goes for wild orchids as well as everything else. These are pyramidal orchids taken at Chafford Gorges nature park.

The Giza pyramid complex in Egypt is home to the Great Pyramid, the pyramid of Khafre, and the pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, between c. 2600 – c. 2500 BC. The site also includes several temples, cemeteries, and the remains of a workers' village.
The site is at the edge of the Western Desert, approximately 9 km (5.6 mi) west of the Nile River in the city of Giza, and about 13 km (8.1 mi) southwest of the city centre of Cairo. It forms the northernmost part of the 16,000 ha (160 km2; 62 sq mi) Pyramid Fields of the Memphis and its Necropolis UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 1979. The pyramid fields include the Abusir, Saqqara, and Dahshur pyramid complexes, which were all built in the vicinity of Egypt's ancient capital of Memphis. Further Old Kingdom pyramid fields were located at the sites Abu Rawash, Zawyet El Aryan, and Meidum. Most of the limestone used to build the pyramids originates from the underlying Mokattam Formation.
The Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre are the largest pyramids built in ancient Egypt, and they have historically been common as emblems of Ancient Egypt in the Western imagination. They were popularised in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is by far the oldest of the Ancient Wonders and the only one still in existence.

Job 3:13-15 “Surely, at once, had I lain down, and been quiet, I had fallen asleep, then, had I been at rest: With kings, and counselors of the earth, who had built them pyramids: Or with rulers possessing, gold, - Who had filled their houses with silver.”

The Red Pyramid, also called the North Pyramid, is the largest of the pyramids located at the Dahshur necropolis in Cairo, Egypt. It is the third largest Egyptian pyramid, after those of Khufu and Khafre at Giza. It is believed to be Egypt's first successful attempt at constructing a "true" smooth-sided pyramid.
The pyramid is named for the rusty reddish hue of its limestone, but it was not originally red – it was clad in white Tura limestone. During the Middle Ages, much of the cladding was taken for buildings in Cairo, exposing the red limestone. Only a few white blocks remain, at the pyramid's base.
Local residents refer to the Red Pyramid as el-heram el-watwaat, meaning the Bat Pyramid.
The Red Pyramid was the third pyramid of four built by Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu, and was built 2575–2563 BCE. The Red Pyramid is located approximately one kilometre (0.62 mi) to the north of the Bent Pyramid. It is built at the same shallow 43-degree angle as the upper section of the Bent Pyramid, which gives it a noticeably squat appearance compared to other Egyptian pyramids of comparable scale. Construction is believed to have begun during the thirtieth year of Sneferu's reign (c. 2590 BCE). Egyptologists disagree on the length of time it took to construct. Based on quarry marks found at various phases of construction, Rainer Stadelmann estimates the time of completion to be approximately 17 years while Rolf Krauss, based on this same graffiti, suggests a period of construction of 10–11 years, an estimate later supported by John Romer.
Archaeologists speculate its design may be an outcome of engineering crises experienced during the construction of Sneferu's two earlier pyramids. The first of these being, the Pyramid at Meidum, collapsed in antiquity, while the second, the Bent Pyramid, had the angle of its inclination dramatically altered from 54 to 43 degrees part-way through the construction due to complications that accrued during the three construction phases.
Some archaeologists now believe that the Meidum pyramid was the first attempt at building a smooth-sided pyramid, and that it may have collapsed when construction of the Bent Pyramid was already well under way – and that the pyramid may by then have already begun to show alarming signs of instability itself, as evident by the presence of large timber beams supporting its inner chambers. The outcome of this was the change in inclination of the Bent Pyramid, and the commencement of the later Red Pyramid at an inclination known to be less susceptible to instability and therefore less susceptible to catastrophic collapse.

The Pyramid of the 21st century under construction at Montoir de Bretagne - FRANCE.
According to the latest translations of the bas-reliefs, it is in honor of Pharaoh "CMA CGM" that this pyramid would be erected.

The Egyptian pyramids are ancient masonry structures located in Egypt. Most were built as tombs for the country's pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.
The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built. The Pyramid of Khufu is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.*

The Great Pyramids of Giza, Al Haram, Nazlet El-Semman, Al Haram, Giza, Egypt.
It is believed to be the architect of the Great Pyramid was Hemiunu who was also a member of the Royal Family.
Khufu also was considered the highest man-made structure for more than 3,800 years.
The Pyramids are Khufu (139m Height), Khafre (136m Height), and Menkaure (65m Height).
