There's also this.
If I was a rich person, I'd build a pyramid out of concrete in a more modern style, with the peak being made out of glass for maximum view, as a home.
At least it wouldn't fall over.
It's not a real rich man pet project if it doesn't end up in a catastrophe!
A pyramid doesn't inherently have a wide base. See Transamerica pyramid as example.
According to this, that seems to be the exception to the rule: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Comparison_of_pyramids_SMIL.svg
They managed to build a pyramid that can fall over.
How do you get an interactive svg like that? I've never seen that before.
IIRC you essentially just use the hover attribute, it’s pretty straightforward and directly supported in the standard, just rarely used. You can go much wilder than that in fact (click on the components)(source)
I wondered the same!
I'd put a saltwater lake in the center surrounding a 100' tall Cypress tree.
