many theories abound as to why the pyramid shape was so reverred in ancient egypt - a link to the underworld, the shape of the suns rays, pointing to the heavens or an astrological link?

You have to climb a very stony path for about 1.5 hours to get there. Note the cliff right behind the pyramid.
This shot is taken from under under the area of robbed stone, in the north-east corner of the pyramid base shown in the previous shot. Hopefully some idea of the size of the casing blocks can be gained, as well as the size, and somewhat irregular shape of those blocks which comprise the core masonry. This latter feature, it must be added, is common to most Old Kingdom pyramids
The Pyramid Magnolia (Magnolia pyramidata) has a curious distribution throughout the southeastern United States. With a very sporadic and spotty distribution this species is considered to be nowhere abundant. In Texas it occurs in several tiny populations along the Louisiana border in Newton and Jasper Counties. This species is unique as it prefers xeric sites with deep sandy soils and not the moist mesic slopes that other Magnolia species are commonly associated with. Several of the populations in Texas are at risk from increased habitat fragmentation due to timber production. The Big Thicket Association is currently accepting donations in an effort to purchase a conservation easement for one of the populations.
Finished around 2510 BC, this was built as a tomb for the kin Menkaure, who was the son of Khafre and the grandson of Khufu, who built the other two main Pyramids of Giza.
It's much smaller than the other two, and used to have a casing of white limestone, with the bottom 16 rows made of red granite -- so it would have looked like a "stripe" along the bottom.
In the 12th Century, al-Malek al-Aziz Othman ben Yusuf tried to dismantle it, but it was far too difficult and expensive. Blacks that tumbled to the bottom would become buried in sand. Eventually he gave up, leaving a "scar" along one side.

Seeing this guy (Pyramid Head) from Silent Hill at the festival was pretty amusing to say the least. Great costume!
Pyramids are wooden Christmas toys whose propellers spin due to the hot air from the candles. This one is huge!

One of my very favorite Christmas decorations. I had to have a German Christmas Pyramid after I saw Cousin Eddie break the one in Christmas Vacation.
The Silhouette SD came in handy when my son needed to do a Pyramid Project at school. His teacher loved the machine.

Tallest Pyramid in the region (including Chichén Itzá) which you can still climb. Height is 42 meters, and stair inclination 45+ degrees. Most of the Pyramid is still covered by the jungle.
This is in the woods in Hoyt Park in Madison. Wha...? I can't find anything about it online and none of my friends so far have even heard of it. I think this may take some more research.
