    Also the bass pro shop pyramid and luxor pyramid exist, we are at the point where our direct equivelents to the ancient pyramids is a sporting goods place and a monument to mans decadence.

      As someone who grew up in Memphis, I hate that the pyramid got bought by Bass Pro Shop. It used to be a multi use structure for basketball, concerts, and even art exhibits.

        It had been a dead venue for years. At least bass pro turned it back into a useful space

          I know, it just felt like selling off a piece of city history to me instead of trying to do something else with it.

      To be fair, those are only 2/3rds the height of the Great Pyramid Of Gizeh.
