The Great Pyramid Park is as much about life as it is about death. It will not only serve funeral parties and mourners, but also independent guests visiting the site as a major tourist attraction. Functionalities and spatial planning concepts will ensure that we all find our expectations fulfilled. The park will present history as a series of personal rather than anonymously aggregated events. Exciting architectural concepts, outstanding contemporary art, various exhibition spaces, daily changing memorial installations and a unique atmosphere will attract further guests. The first 2007/08 Great Pyramid Park architectural competition illustrates opportunities and potentials of a “humanity theme park” like this.

The Great Pyramid Online

The plethora of online memorial sites has succeeded neither in recreating the calm atmosphere of cemeteries nor in providing us with convincing user benefits even vaguely resembling those of real-world cemeteries. Only very few online cemeteries have realized their natural potential for conserving information about the deceased beyond the minuscule bits of data available on tombstones. The Great Pyramid Online will be the first online memorial site that will be integrated with the real world. We will be able to 3D-navigate though the structure and explore rich media contents documenting and honoring the achievements and failures of former generations. Free memorial functionalities will allow us to gather online and pay respect to people, no matter if a pyramid stone is placed for them or not. We will also find practical, hands-on information about everything related to our own foreseeable demise and afterlife.-->

For The Great Pyramid to be successful, it will need to provide additional benefits and also diversified revenue. In contrast to, for example, open-source software projects, the Great Pyramid as a physical structure necessitates substantial up-front investment. The Great Pyramid can only come into existence when it also provides commercial chances. An online platform will represent the physical structure of the Great Pyramid. It allows users to pay real and virtual tributes and as well provides and retrieves information about individuals honored with a stone. The area evolving around the Great Pyramid will be developed as a theme park dedicated to the legacy and future of our species. It will provide funeral parties with a uniquely dignified experience but will also be of interest to independent guests who wish to explore fascinating aspects of our civilization´s tradition and prospects.
