And then, there are pyramids. In 1843, John C. Fremont saw the massive tufa formation on the shore of a desert lake he named Pyramid Lake because it re- minded him of the Egyptian Pyramids. When I was in college, a friend of mine and I went to the lake and climbed to the top of the pyramid because we were fas- cinated by it. We could feel the warmth of the hot spring coming up from the tufa that had formed the pyramid. This fool- ishness is no longer allowed by the Pyra- mid Lake Paiute Tribe. For some unknown reason, human beings in ancient times felt compelled to construct Pyramids. There were at least eighty or more pyramids constructed in ancient Egypt. The African country of Sudan actually has more pyramids than Egypt. Pyramid building is something human beings feel compelled to do, just as bees are compelled to build a hive. Pyramid building is not something performed only in the Old World coun- tries of Egypt and Sudan. There are pyra- mid-like structures in China and other Southeast Asian countries. In the “New World” countries of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Peru among others, there are many ancient pyramids built by the Aztecs, Mayans and other cultures. It seems to me that there must have been some exchanges of ideas in ancient times for all these cultures to have the same desire to construct pyramids. There is even an ancient pyramid in the state of Illinois, near the Mississippi River. Egyptian obelisks are tall, narrow monuments with four sides that taper into a pyramid at the top. They were built by pharaohs between about 4,000 and 2,600 years ago. Over the years after the decline of Ancient Egypt, all but a few of the obelisks were taken away to be erected in other countries. France, Israel, Poland, Turkey and the United States each have one. The United Kingdom has four and Italy has 13, including one in the Vatican City. Most of these were re- moved from Egypt many years ago and transported at great expense to the other countries. There are probably more obelisk shaped objects in the world today than any other type of monument. They are common in most older cemeteries worldwide. At the Nevada State Hospital in Sparks, I was involved in the place- ment of a memorial obelisk which bears plaques on each of the four sides with the names of 800 people interred there. There is a photo of this on my website. Many cities including Buenos Aires have spectacular modern obelisks.
