Concept
The Great Pyramid is envisioned as the world's largest monument, potentially serving every human being as a grave or memorial site.
The group's mission statement explains that the monument is envisioned as being "affordable" as well as " all nationalities and religions. Individuals who are either unwilling or unable to have their ashes buried there can also opt to have a memorial stone placed instead. Stones can be custom designed with any number of colors, images, or relief decorations. The Great Pyramid will continue to grow with every stone placed, eventually forming the largest structure in the history of man."
Choosing (and re-visiting) the ancient building technique and shape of a pyramid is integral to the project, as it allows for continuous growth (see Fig.1) of the monument site.
