Talking Pyramids

While the Great Pyramid closes for the 11/11/11, the Earth Pyramid project launches.

The Earth Pyramid Project is a truly ambitious project with noble aims. The goal is to get the world thinking about the future of the planet and to bring together the different governments, schools and other groups to discuss these global issues.

The pyramid will function as a time capsule into which children from participating schools from around the world will be putting messages.

The building of the pyramid will be the perfect opportunity to try out some of the theories of how the pyramids were built.

The leveling of the site and alignment of the foundations could be carried out using ancient methods such as sighting the stars, or the sun.

The construction itself could use clever techniques such as the Internal Ramp theory developed by Jean-Pierre Houdin. Thanks to Dassault Systèmes and their 3D software we’ve seen Jean-Pierre’s theory in full 3D using virtual reality. To see a pyramid actually being built from the inside out though would be truly spectacular and move the concept from theory to practice.

By incorporating and combining ancient methods with modern tools and materials perhaps we can learn from the ancients as we strive to educate the future generations.
