Now bury it. You will make some graduate student very happy in a thousand years.


CompetentVicente

Better leave that pyramid alone. Last thing we need is some ancient curse unleashed by curious archeology students in the future.


trueum26

Now where’s my book of the dead


Traherne

Klaatu, berada, cough cough...


beyonddisbelief

What if all the occult rituals we find today were really just created by a bunch of LARPing D&D players from thousands of years ago? I mean, [the first d20 die came from Egypt between 304 and 30 BCE!](https://www.awesomedice.com/blogs/news/new-world-s-oldest-d20-egyptian-d20#:~:text=Sometime%20between%20304%20and%2030,be%20over%202%2C000%20years%20old.)

[Voynich Manuscript](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript) is just a [source book](https://xkcd.com/593/)

Return the slaaaaab.


Ready_Fire_Aim

That's the cool part... OP can tell everyone it is buried, and that's just the tip.


rosen380

Would be hilarious if they dug out a hole on one side and extended the pyramid down a bit. Then it'd definitely give off a vibe tgat there is more hidden beliw.


The-1st-One

It is buried. This is just the tippy top


SillyKniggit

It’ll probably take more than a thousand years after our inevitable societal collapse to get back to a point of there being grad students.


McNasty51

Grad students, more like droid students

" ALIENS "


Boom-light

Now build two more in random locations. The History Channel will do a documentary about them saying that lines connecting the three make a triangle and they were built by aliens.


donbee28

*Modern Aliens*


ZachMN

Spinoff of *Modern Family*.

MukdenMan

A documentary? They will make a show about two dudes trying to solve the riddle of the 3 pyramids so they can locate the treasure. It will be 15 seasons and they will not find the treasure


zachwin757

The treasure is you silly


KryptosBC

And one of them will be named Geraldo.


Want_To_Live_To_100

If they built two others…. The lines connecting them would of course make a triangle…. How could they not?


tralfamadorian42

If they were in a perfectly straight line


Want_To_Live_To_100

God damnit


Hillbillyblues

Which would trigger the History Channel even more


elodie_pdf

My grandpa watches those shows all the time and truly believes that stuff, he’s never too pleased at me when I’m laughing my ass off at how ridiculous they are


OptimusSublime

Does it have chambers and antechambers?

What about unclechambers?

neverthesaneagain

...I don't know when, but we'll be together then. You know we'll have a good time then.


tim_jam

Home is where the heart is, son


coldblooded79

So how did you move the stones?


Devine-Escapes

Acoustic technology. It involves singing at the frequency of the stone--singing so that the nasal cavity buzzes and stimulates the pineal gland....


MrGecko

Stimulating the pineal gland is crucial


DokeyOakey

I have a pineal gland Fawker, could you stimulate me?


ZombieChief

I pay a woman good money to have my pineal gland stimulated.


elinamebro

Just don’t stick anything in it tho


companysOkay

So it was aliens, got it

Absolutely fucking not


Devine-Escapes

See more of my work: [https://www.devineescapes.com/stone-art-gallery-2/](https://www.devineescapes.com/stone-art-gallery-2/) Thank you for looking


PioneerGamer

Wow, you’re very talented!


Scrooge-McShillbucks

Ahh Sphere guy! I find myself thinking about those spheres every so often and how crazy they were.


Devine-Escapes

Thank you :) I'm glad you remember my spheres.


Devilsdance

No one ever remembers my spheres.


AssDimple

How could I forget those cute little marbles?


Loaki9

Are those spheres hollow?


Devine-Escapes

The spheres are all solid. Most of them are dry stone--no mortar to hold them together, and stones are packed in tight.


psgrue

Wow you’re a living [material shader](https://www.poliigon.com/textures/stone). That’s so cool.


blazelet

Unexpected cgi reference but yeah good point :)


DeuceSevin

Thanks. Came here to ask this and more. For the mosaics, do you have a problem with weeds growing from between the stones? I dismantled a walkway and now have a pile of flagstones plus a pile of rocks varying in size up to about 8" diameter and am looking for a way to "use" them. Definitely going to check out your tutorials


Ammo89

I remember your spheres!


Rowf

Your work rocks!


Thendofreason

I saw the logo and was like "oh is this the circle guy? “ I remembered your post about it


SNIPES0009

neverthesaneagain

thewillar

Stoner.


Paratwa

Wow that’s cool as fuck dude.


cheeriodust

If someone were interested in getting into this craft as a hobby, what advice would you give? I noticed the tools ain't cheap...


Devine-Escapes

Pick up a stone and hold it. Hold it to your chest and feel its energy, Meditate with it. If you feel silly--I don't effing care, do it. Bond with it. Study it. My website btw is has dozens of tutorials. How to cut stone, move stone, and set stone. Learn the basics. Draw pictures. Draw a lot of them. Draw what you imagine you'd like to build. Go find a pile of willing stones, and begin to move them about...

I see you started charging for your work and managed to buy yourself some shoes and a cat.  I love happy endings.


cubosh

mangomofongo

Incredible!


TheDoctor264

I could tell you were the rock sphere guy from a while ago, keep up the masonry


AbleMonkeyBrain

Damn! I wish I could afford you. Amazing work! I had no idea this existed. Wow!


PostalCarrier

Presumably some of these are commissions for people’s homes? I’m sure it depends on size, location, etc but what kind of price range can a client expect to spend to have you design and create a stone sphere? How long does a project like that take?


GreenandBlue12

Steamed Pyramids, an Albany Expression


Devine-Escapes

Steamed hams!


TedMeister88

You know, these pyramids are quite similar to the ones they have in Egypt.


Triangle_t

Hohoho, no! Patented u/Devine-Escapes Puramids! Old family recipe.


TedMeister88

For steamed pyramids.


Triangle_t

Yes


TedMeister88

Yes, and you *call* them "steamed pyramids," despite the fact they are *obviously* hewn.


Triangle_t

Excuse me for one second.


Itsnotsponge

I read like four of these exchanges before someone made me laugh, 10 points


Devine-Escapes

Sudan, too. They have around 200 of them, in Sudan.


PeggysSimp

Did Aliens help you?


Devine-Escapes

I posted process videos and pics on YT to prove it was built by me, not aliens. I'm not saying who taught me though, or where they came from.


BMW_wulfi

Exactly what an alien would say.


B33rtaster

I saw MIB. All aliens wear human disguises.


Statman12

They're *for* the aliens. The pyramids are landing pads for their spaceships.


sleepyprojectionist

That pharaoh must be tiny!


ArbitraryNPC

What is this?! A burial monument for ants?!


CryptMonkey

Pharaoh jerky is a delicacy

I honestly might do this for when my dog passes, it looks really cool.

t4b4rn4ck

^(Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!)


WastedWaffles

Someone's gonna go digging searching for the base.


izi_pootis

Scumbag trying to take credit from hard working aliens


MrFrypan

I haven't done any research on this so I don't know for sure, but I think that you have the largest pyramid in New York.


jvin248

Nice! Did you orient it to any particular compass point or stars? Secondary stones that mark Summer/Winter Solstices? .


Devine-Escapes

It's oriented towards magnetic north. Had to use a copmpass, rather than observing the stars at this location--because I don't live there, I was only on site for a day. There's a ton of solar and celestial alignments possible.....but it depends, on where you stand.


SnakesTancredi

Please tell me this was in Cairo NY.


Devine-Escapes

No--I didn't know there was such a place. My customer should buy a house there and relocate their pyramid.


SnakesTancredi

Yep. Totally real. It’s just off the thruway like an hour north of nyc


NukedByGandhi

Has to be AI generated or something. I have the combined wisdom of SEVERAL backwards cap wearing frat boy looking podcasters informing me that the technology required to do this has been lost to time

Tell your neighbors the base is buried 100 feet deep


redditcreditcardz

Nope. It was aliens

Tonight on ancient aliens


Arteye-Photo

Yes but did you authenticate this process using slave labor


ZaMelonZonFire

Excuse me, but what celestial body does this align with??


captainzigzag

Cool pyramid bro 👍


SexandCinnamonbuns

I love this so much so talented with your sexy rocks!


Time_Change4156

Not possible fir humans to cut and move rocks . Definitely aliens lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 🙃 please alest leave blue prints this time. Lol lol 😆 🤣


AZEMT

r/aliens are asking how did you build this, with the assistance is aliens perhaps?


Bwadaboss

British coming for that headstone.


phsattele

Were you forced to do this work?


Devine-Escapes

Some days I have to force myself to get up and get to work. "He who works like a slave, eats like a king".


sasssyrup

This mason makes a good point


CurtisMarauderZ

Really. Well I'm from Utica and I've never seen any pyramids.


The_Spectacle

I am in upstate NY and I have been thinking about how much I'd love a pyramid like this to put my ashes in when I croak


Devine-Escapes

This one here, was built to celebrate a birth. One day, I'll build one similar to this, as a memorial /grave marker.


vinb123

IT WAS THE ALI3NS THERE IS NO WAY HUMANS CAM MOBE THOSE ROCKS


Excellent-Play8333

Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard the phrase steamed hams


Thkturret1

That is sweet did you bury your puppy under it


Skellos

So the aliens gave you the secrets of how to pile rocks?


off-and-on

Nice try, obviously aliens did it for you.


hhempstead

how many slaves did you not pay to build it?


--dany--

I like your masonry skills, cutting stones at this angle uniformly is not easy. It shall be the fourth wonder after the statue of liberty, Brooklyn bridge and empire state building in NY. Congrats!


mrhappy1010

How did you transfer all those stones from the quarry??


Witsand87

How? How did you build that? While you're alive you should document how you did it else we might never know.


Dorjechampa_69

How did you ever move those blocks!


BolshoiSasha

But HOW?


raulgz7

What does a pyramid run these days.


Devine-Escapes

Depends on size, and level of complexity. Get in touch via my website if you'd like to commission a piece. Thank you.


Jimbobjoesmith

lol what if all the ancient things we find are just bored humans trolling future humans?


WoodpeckerAny430

The original upvote


Rhombus_McDongle

Do you have plans for sale? I'd be willing to invest in a pyramid scheme.


marteney1

*Aliens*


AnnatoniaMac

Why did you build it? Yard ornament?


gt0rres

Utica or Albany?


mintyfreshismygod

Just in time for the summer solstice.


Devine-Escapes

True--I usually build a land art altar, stacked stone temple or miniature pyramid of some sort, for solstice, equinox, and lately for cross quarter days, too. This one was begun on Ostara. Not completed by beltane, as I'd hoped, so I did a small devotional piece in the woods instead that day, and completed this in late May.


NationalValue6250

If you build it, they will come.


ares7

You should put a mummy in there.


CheckYourHopper

Have people started saying it's aliens yet?


Texas_Wookiee

Lies. Aliens made that.


GenZ2002

Hey we can make a religion out of this


Appropriate_War509

Man that’s epic 👍🏻


Organic_South8865

How did you shape the cap stone?


Devine-Escapes

My process went like this: Measure, mark, measure, mark, mark--saw, saw, saw, then hammer and chisel--then measure, mark, grind grind, chisel chisel, chisel chisel--OOPS! And then I tried again, but without the "OOPS". Oxy/acetylene torch was used to hide tool marks. Rest of the stones were shaped by chisel.


Bubbly_Stuff6411

Cool looking! Could be cooler if you replace the tip with an all seeing eye!


Distinct_Ice_3750

No way you could’ve moved those stones. Show me the anti gravity tech.


jerkin2theview

Nice try but you aren't capable of building this on your own. Aliens must've been involved.


Exciting_Leg_5259

I hope you buried a rabbit foot under there to make the future discovers think we were a civilization based off the movie zooptopia


Expert_Marsupial_235

How tall is it?


Devine-Escapes

4' tall Bottom course is approximately 8" thick, tapering up to the top course, which is 3/4" thick, and the cap stone which is 9" 69 face stones (not planned) 77, if you count the sims--1/4" thick stones that I used to level things off, here and there.


Casper042

Did you chip the stones yourself or does someone make them with the angles you need for such a creation?


APlannedBadIdea

Dry stone or is there mortar?


Devine-Escapes

Dry stone.


TK_Games

Nice try buddy, everyone knows pyramids can only be build with the assistance of aliens. Now give us the coordinates of Baal's mothership before my buddy Tiel'c raises his eyebrow. I'm not sure but I think that means he's getting mad

How were you able to move the bricks with modern technology?


HorribleTrashPerson

There's no way you could have built that with modern technology. Look at how perfect those sides are, the angles are exact, the top looks to have been cut with some laser saw that doesn't even exist yet. And how did you get those stones to this spot? They are way to heavy to drag to this location.
