Hollywood Cemetery is a large, sprawling cemetery located at 412 South Cherry Street in Richmond, Virginia. Characterized by rolling hills and winding paths overlooking the James River, it is the resting place of two United States Presidents, James Monroe and John Tyler, as well as the only Confederate States President, Jefferson Davis. It is also the resting place of 25 Confederate generals, more than any other cemetery in the country; these include George Pickett and J.E.B. Stuart.
Among the hills, curving roads and elaborate statues and tombstones is the impressive stone Confederate Pyramid. The pyramid was completed in 1869 and was built as a memorial to the more than 18,000 confederate soldiers who died in batte.
The memorial was commissioned by the Hollywood Memorial Association that was formed May 3, 1866 by the Daughters of the Confederacy for $26,000.00 an amount that would equal $423,760.00 in 2008. The pyramid was built in an area of the cemetery where graves contains the remains of enlisted men of the Confederate Army who died at Gettysburg. 18,000 men including at least 2,000 unknown soldiers were removed from the Gettysburg's battlefield and buried at Hollywood cemetery. This is commemorated by the construction of the pyramid to honor the sacrifices of these Confederate soldiers. The Hollywood Cemetery Registry of Confederate Dead, printed in 1869, contains about 10,500 names of the 18,000 soldiers that rest here.

I think our guide said that the pyramid symbolizes how the legal system is constructed on case law. The shape was drawn from Zechariah’s Tomb and Absalom’s Pillar.
The courthouse is constructed of materials from throughout Israel. There were important bronze-age copper mines in the Arava valley.

The Transamerica Pyramid is the tallest and most recognizable skyscraper in the San Francisco skyline.
Built on the location of the historic Montgomery Block, it has a structural height of 260 meters (853 ft) and contains 48 floors of retail and office space. Construction began in 1969 and finished in 1972. It is currently ranked as the 100th tallest building in the world. Transamerica moved their headquarters to the new building from across the street, where they used to be based in another pyramid-shaped building now occupied by the Church of Scientology of San Francisco.

How to get the Giza Pyramids to yourself? You can't!
It took a lot of irritated tedious exchanges with men trying to offer us camel rides to be able to just walk out here, but it was worth it!
The Pyramid of Khafre, the second largest, is the only one that still has some of the original casing that once covered all three pyramids. All that remains is the “cap” at the top.
(Giza, Egypt)
We used Santa Ana as a base for two day-trips. The first was to Chalchuapa, 30 minutes to the west via bus #218. Chalchuapa is very tranqillo. We gazed at the Mayan ruins at the edge of town, then trekked to centro to the parques, mercado, and church.
Pyramid ants are pale orange to dark brown in color. They are slender with a pyramid-shaped projection on its thorax.
Size:
Range from 1/12-inch to 1/6-inch in length.
Behavior:
Pyramid ants move quickly and forage in strong, easily detected trails. They are similar to fire ants in that often nest in open, sunny areas, and are rarely found indoors. They can also be found around patios, porches and decks. They feed on other insects and honeydew, and are particularly fond of sweets.
Habitat:
Pyramid ant colonies tend to be small with a single queen. Workers construct the nest in open, sandy areas, where they deposit soil in a circular crater or mound around the entrance hole. Mounds are usually 2 to 4 inches in diameter are easily spotted around pavers and logs and are often found near the nests of other ants.
Unique Characteristics:
One of the primary benefits of the Pyramid ant is their role as natural predators of other undesirable ants, especially fire ants. It is common to actually see this species attacking individual foraging fire ants and newly-mated fire ant queens. Close observation of their nests will often reveal “bone piles”, containing the remains of fire ants and other ant species.
The Great Pyramid of Giza , also called Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu, and Pyramid of Cheops, is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis, and is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC.
For a contest called 'odd man out'. God knows where this idea sprang from, but once I'd thought of it, it had to be done.
I did think I had lost the plot at one point, balancing on a chair in a hotel car park, reaching for a conker :")
I think it came good in the end though, and we got to eat all the ferrero rocher afterwards-bonus! :P
