Going down the pyramids, one doesn’t do it every day. Nor coming face to face with them. When the moment is there, one can’t avoid the impression of absolute grandeur, and of well-nigh disbelief that thousands of years ago people have managed to plan, organize and build monuments like that.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt 2001
With its height of 140 metres the Great Pyramid of Giza (2560 BC) was to remain for 3800 years the highest man-made construction on earth. A Wonder of the World that has stood the test of time.
A regular square pyramid, a simple geometric shape, a basic element in art and science. Even enlarged to grandiose dimensions the form preserves its fundamental, universal simplicity.
