Enquanto restavam forças by Lente Quente

2 2

Pieter Jan Valeton (97 anos), vô João, saiu com a família de Haya na Holanda, em 1934, rumo a Carambeí, colônia holandesa na região dos Campos Gerais. Leitor obstinado sobre as pirâmides egípcias, resolveu empreender sozinho sua própria pirâmide em 2003, quando já tinha 88 anos. Desde a execução da planta até a obra pronta, tudo foi feito por ele, na sua chácara em Carambeí. A construção levou cerca de um ano para ficar pronta. Mais tarde, com 93 anos, resolveu restaurar com armação de ferro e revesti-la. O monumento tem três metros de altura e 3,65 de largura, nas bases.
