Pyramidion

<p dir="ltr">Ancient Egyptian relics have always fascinated me and I find them ruthlessly inspiring.</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">A <i>Pyramidion</i> is a very special and particular stone that tops a pyramid (or an obelisk, in Egypt), and is itself a miniature pyramid. Very few, if any Pyramidion’s have been found still sitting atop their pyramid and, if they still exist, are usually unearthed somewhere nearby their original resting place.</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">In comparison to the magnitude and size of a pyramid, it’s capstone is minute. Yet it is arguably the most important stone placed on the structure as it brings the entire pyramid to a point at the same angle and proportions as the main body.</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">In an unusual twist of luck (so, I swear not intentional), the climax of this piece occurs during the 3-4^th minute, which as a seven minute work means it, structurally, roughly follows the outline of a triangle.</p>
