The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre), designed by I.M. Pei, is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) in Paris. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum.
This is the tallest pyramidal building in europe and it is aged about 10.000 b.c.
Several hundred of years were needed to built this pyramid and thousand of slaves were used.
It has no doors nor apertures.Its use is still unknown. Archeologists say that probably this building was used by ancient priests to study extra-terrestrial life.
How did ancients build this pyramid? This question has long been debated, but many think that the heavy stones were carried from far regions by the same teleporting system used to go inside and out of the building.
Many questions are still without an answer and a lot of studying is still needed.

This shows the tip of the Pyramid of Khafre, which still retains the limestone cladding that once covered the whole thing. It is believed that there was a golden tip on top, set there to catch the light of the sun. The Pyramid of Khafre is the middle one of the three great pyramids, and while it looks the largest from almost every angle, Khafre had it built just slightly smaller than that belongiong to his father Cheops. What a good chap!

This is the third of the great pyramids, the Pyramid of Menkaure, Menkaure being Khafre's successor. It is now known why his pyramid is smaller than the others, the theories being that it was either because (1) he wasn't as important a pharoah as his predecessors had been, or (2) that they (the aliens) had simply tired of building big pyramids. The hole in the righthand face is there because in the 12th century, an enterprising cairo Sultan decided to undertake a treasure hunt. This hole took him eight months to excavate and didn't find anything!
