La pyramide du Louvre est une pyramide constituée de verre et de métal, située au milieu de la cour Napoléon du musée du Louvre à Paris. Elle abrite l'entrée principale du musée.
Commandée par François Mitterrand en 1983, la pyramide a été conçue par l'architecte sino-américain Ieoh Ming Pei. La structure métallique qui supporte le parement en verre est faite d'acier et d'aluminium et pèse 200 tonnes ; elle s'élève à 21,64 mètres sur une base carrée de 35,42 mètres de côté. Elle est recouverte de 603 losanges et de 70 triangles en verre et est la première grande construction à utiliser le verre feuilleté.

Khafre's Pyramid in Egypt, The Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Red Pyramid in Egypt and the Bent Pyramid near Cairo Egypt.
a smooth-sided pyramid built in the 24th century BC for the Egyptian pharaoh Unas.
Unas built his pyramid between the complexes of Sekhemket and Djoser, in North Saqqara. Anchored to the valley temple at a nearby lake, a long causeway was constructed to provide access to the pyramid site. The pyramid is situated on the Saqqara plateau and lies on a line running from the pyramid of Sekhemkhet to the pyramid of Menkauhor.[18] The site required the construction of an exceptionally long causeway to reach a nearby lake, suggesting the site held some significance to Unas.
Complexe funéraire de Djéser.
Il est, dans l'histoire de l'architecture égyptienne, le second ouvrage édifié en pierre de taille. Il marque une évolution importante de l'architecture monumentale.
En effet, le tombeau du roi prend, pour la première fois et après de multiples modifications, la forme d'une pyramide. Cette innovation marque la naissance d'un nouveau type de sépulture.
Bien que l'appartement royal ait été complètement pillé dès l'Antiquité, le mobilier archéologique dégagé lors des fouilles de cet ensemble funéraire n'en est pas moins d'une importance exceptionnelle.
Des milliers de vases et de coupes gisent encore au fond des galeries, attendant d'en être extraits. Deux sarcophages d'albâtre, dont l'un contient encore le squelette d'un enfant, sont encore placés au sein des galeries de la famille royale.
Le complexe fut conçu par l'architecte Imhotep. Il est l'aboutissement d'une architecture évoluant depuis la IIe dynastie.

Or perhaps the pyramids are for the souls of the mice that don't sell before their helium leeks out.
This is the first time I've ever cropped a fish-eye photo.
I have been meaning for years to take a photo of the person inflating the balloons; but hated the result and cropped the circular image to about 70% of the original.
I do like the way that lite fixture sticks out of the circle.
