Pyramid of the World is joining forces with Leeds Pyramid

Pyramid of the World and Leeds Pyramid have the same objective: bringing the World's civilizations under one roof that will survive for thousands of years.

Summary
Pyramid of the World is an ambitious project of the non-profit organization "Pyramid of the World Research Organization". The project consists of performing scientific research in the field of preservation with the ultimate goal of building a permanent museum that will be in the form of a pyramid in order to survive thousands of years without maintenance just like the pyramids of Egypt. The museum will contain all aspects of human civilization and will be updated every century with the new accomplishments of mankind.

We have a fairly good idea today of what life was like five thousand years ago thanks to what the ancient Egyptians have left us from pyramids to temples to hieroglyphic inscriptions. Isn't it time to build our own pyramid (physical, not virtual) that will tell hundreds of generations to come what life was like around 2000 AD?
We will clearly describe and showcase in this pyramid all aspects of our civilization in a setting that defies time without the need for maintenance. In other words we will not let the next generations wonder how the pyramid was built or look for our version of the Rosetta Stone to decipher the inscriptions!

Introducing the most daring project of the twenty first century: Pyramid of the World Project.

Pyramid of the World is a global collaborative project that draws on talents from around the planet. The primary challenge of Pyramid of the World is how to preserve the pyramid and its content for thousands of years without maintenance? Do we use proven technology such as the ink pigments that were used thousands of years ago in those colorful drawings and inscriptions, or can we do better? Do we use time-tested building materials and structures? Where to build the pyramid? What to put in it? How to preserve the content (cars, planes, computers, phones, machinery, etc...)? What language do we use to describe our heritage? How do we make sure it will be deciphered?

The research done on preservation technologies at the National Center for Preservation Technology & Training (NCPTT) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), both US government organizations, will help answer many of these questions. NCPTT focuses on architecture, archeology, engineering, and material, while NSF focuses on digital data preservation.

Pyramid of the World will attract people from around the world In a global contest on best preservation technologies.

The pyramid structure will be surrounded by a large resort with hotels and multiple attractions to accommodate visitors. Revenue from the resort, visitor entrance fees and extensive merchandising will make it a profitable project for a very long time!

This fascinating and most daring project calls for the imagination of people like you. So whether you are an architect, an expert in materials, a graphic designer, a historian, an Egyptologist, or just an observer, your thoughts are key to the success of Pyramid of the World. Watch for a worldwide contest to be announced on this site for best preservation technologies to be used in this project.

Since everything we build today is disposable, maybe It’s time to put our efforts in a well-preserved milestone of human civilization!
