The Bent Pyramid is located at Dahshur, approximately 40 kilometres south of Cairo, built under the Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu (c. 2600 BC).
The lower part of the pyramid rises from the desert at a 54-degree inclination, but the top section is built at the shallower angle of 43 degrees, lending the pyramid its very obvious "bent" appearance.
Archaeologists now believe that the Bent Pyramid represents a transitional form between step-sided and smooth-sided pyramids. It has been suggested that due to the steepness of the original angle of inclination the structure may have begun to show signs of instability during construction, forcing the builders to adopt a shallower angle to avert the structure's collapse.

This is a pyramid that depicts hierarchies in society. The peak is the 1% - a "platinum" triangle with black iron gates - the gated communities. It doesn't open. They are hidden.
The next drawer is the church. In terms of power the Catholic church wields quite bit. The facade is opulence and wealth. They collect art, and in the back rooms abuses take place.
Beneath the church is a living room of the wealthy - art patrons. They collect wealth to symbolize money. The art on the walls shows values rather than art. The portrait over the mantle is of Leona Helmsley.
The next drawer down is the back yard of the middle class. Without the money to afford collectable art, they buy what they like - though the curtains are still "Water Lilies" - everyone can have a Monet hanging in their living room.
The next drawer down is the kitchen of the working poor. These are people who buy what they like with no pretensions. And with no money to take in the cultural events they are uneducated - and unbothered by it all. Their values are more focussed on connections with their friends. For instance, social interaction takes place in peoples' kitchens.
The bottom drawer is the poor and homeless. This drawer does not open up. They are invisible in society. Their "voice" is the graffiti on the wall.
The other three sides are not included due to the allowable number of photos. They consist of an environmental statement, and the industries that have destroyed the planet. There is an interactive back panel - and a "signature" side panel.
Our first night in Paris, we ran around taking bad night photography. This was my fave of the pyramid outside the Louvre.
The Pyramid of the Sun is the largest building in Teotihuacan and one of the largest in Mesoamerica. Found along the Avenue of the Dead, in between the Pyramid of the Moon and the Ciudadela, and in the shadow of the massive mountain Cerro Gordo, the pyramid is part of a large complex in the heart of the city.
Pyramids are something you see often when gazing into Lemurian Seed crystals.

Commandée par le président de la République François Mitterrand en 1983, la pyramide a été conçue par l'architecte sino-américain Leoh Ming Pei. La structure, qui a été entièrement construite de segments de verre, s'élève à 20,6 mètres sur une base carrée de 35 mètres de côté. La pyramide est composée de 603 losanges et 70 triangles en verre. Elle a été inaugurée le 4 mars 1988 et ouverte au public le 1er avril 1989].
