Growth & Capacity

The smaller the Great Pyramid is, the faster it grows with every stone set. A thirty-meter-high pyramid will be raised one more horizontal layer if 2,601 stones are added. Once it has reached a height of one hundred meters, 28,000 stones will be needed to add another stratum of stones. Capacity is practically unlimited. A 150-meter pyramid can contain up to 5.3 million stones. One hundred million stones will result in a structure only four hundred meters high. Height, however, is not the decisive factor in terms of the structure’s significance. Even with only a few tens of thousands stones set, the Great Pyramid will individually memorialize more people for ages to come than any other monument in existence.

Pyramid Stones

Each stone holds a capsule that contains either ashes or small memorabilia in an inner cavity. The stones’ contents will be permanently sealed in a compact concrete enclosure. Great Pyramid stones will be pre-fabricated in the Pyramid’s economic vicinity. The stones’ measurements are designed to suit the pyramid’s specific angles and proportions. Linkages will ensure that the stones fit snugly into place when set. Stones are all the same size, but can be customized with highly-individualized epitaph plates. These epitaphs may be engraved in natural stone, carved wood, or limestone, or even large-format photos laminated between acrylic glass and solar-powered LED-panels. Funeral or memorial parties may actively take part in a stone assembly celebration that would replace the act of covering a grave with soil in a pre-pyramid sepulcher.

The Great Pyramid rises layer by layer. Unlike a house, it has no ultimate size, but grows like a tree in annual rings, inside out from its core, allowing the structure to maintain a nearly perfect pyramidal shape even during construction.In the beginning, stones may be set in upward spirals around the Great Pyramid’s surface. When the structure has reached larger proportions, more efficient approaches can be implemented: one side of the Great Pyramid may be completely covered with a new layer of stones before proceeding with construction on the next side. Though older stones will be safely covered by newer ones after a certain period of time, each will be locatable using its own unique coordinates and viewable via the Great Pyramid’s online portal. Unlike in a conventional grave, the stone won’t be lost and is protected against vandalism.
