on the bottom, you can be at 1 of 4 sides, but at the top, there is only 1 point. That is where the all-seeing eye goes.

(How many more photos of the same pyramid do you think I could find?)

Let me get this straight. Are you saying those hairy people built the pyramids out of animal bones?
― Pyramidiot, Wednesday, 28 December 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)
it's not a pyramid at all -- its a rectangular monolith foreshortened by perspective.

So, you are saying a rectangle is really a pyramid. Interesting. And made by hairy people, yes?

I suppose you are going to tell me hairy people made those candles, too!

If we take a piece of clay and make a jar from it, and if this jar one day becomes aware of itself, it will say: “I am a jar”.
If we break down the jar and re-knead the clay and make a statue, and if one day the statue becomes conscious of itself, it will say: “I am a statue”.
If we break down the statue and re-knead what gave origin to the jar and to the statue and make a pyramid of it, and if this becomes aware of itself, it will say: “I am a pyramid”.
But if the jar, the statue and the pyramid, as spatio-temporal constructions qualified by certain forms, could really become aware of their primordial and existential unconscious substratum, each would say: “I am formless, homogeneous clay that takes form now as a jar, now as a statue, now as a pyramid”.
