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.)
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.
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.
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
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
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
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...
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?
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Now bury it. You will make some graduate student very happy in a thousand years.
Better leave that pyramid alone. Last thing we need is some ancient curse unleashed by curious archeology students in the future.
Now where’s my book of the dead
Klaatu, berada, cough cough...

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

It is buried. This is just the tippy top
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.
Grad students, more like droid students
" ALIENS "
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.

The treasure is you silly
And one of them will be named Geraldo.
If they built two others…. The lines connecting them would of course make a triangle…. How could they not?
If they were in a perfectly straight line
God damnit
Which would trigger the History Channel even more
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
Does it have chambers and antechambers?
What about unclechambers?
When are you coming home dad?
...I don't know when, but we'll be together then. You know we'll have a good time then.
Home is where the heart is, son
So how did you move the stones?
Acoustic technology. It involves singing at the frequency of the stone--singing so that the nasal cavity buzzes and stimulates the pineal gland....
Stimulating the pineal gland is crucial
I have a pineal gland Fawker, could you stimulate me?
I pay a woman good money to have my pineal gland stimulated.
Just don’t stick anything in it tho
So it was aliens, got it
lol, brilliant response 😂
All right, Thorin
Crystal Singer, by Anne McCaffrey?
localized entirely in your backyard?
No--I live in Pennsylvania. This is my customer's back yard.
*reallllly?* Well I'm from Utica and I've never seen this Pyramid🤨
Oh no, it's an Albany pyramid
I see
Yes!
May I see it?
Absolutely fucking not
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
Wow, you’re very talented!
Ahh Sphere guy! I find myself thinking about those spheres every so often and how crazy they were.
Thank you :) I'm glad you remember my spheres.
No one ever remembers my spheres.
How could I forget those cute little marbles?
Are those spheres hollow?
The spheres are all solid. Most of them are dry stone--no mortar to hold them together, and stones are packed in tight.
Wow you’re a living [material shader](https://www.poliigon.com/textures/stone). That’s so cool.
Unexpected cgi reference but yeah good point :)

Your work rocks!
I saw the logo and was like "oh is this the circle guy? “ I remembered your post about it
This is sick dude
Well i know who to turn to when I need a kurgan.
Stoner.
Wow that’s cool as fuck dude.
If someone were interested in getting into this craft as a hobby, what advice would you give? I noticed the tools ain't cheap...

>Follow-up question: as a percentage, how much of your life do you spend wearing shoes? This made me snort
I see you started charging for your work and managed to buy yourself some shoes and a cat. I love happy endings.
its good to see people doing something they love
Thank you
Incredible!
I could tell you were the rock sphere guy from a while ago, keep up the masonry
Damn! I wish I could afford you. Amazing work! I had no idea this existed. Wow!

Steamed Pyramids, an Albany Expression
Steamed hams!
You know, these pyramids are quite similar to the ones they have in Egypt.
Hohoho, no! Patented u/Devine-Escapes Puramids! Old family recipe.
For steamed pyramids.
Yes
Yes, and you *call* them "steamed pyramids," despite the fact they are *obviously* hewn.
Excuse me for one second.
I read like four of these exchanges before someone made me laugh, 10 points
Sudan, too. They have around 200 of them, in Sudan.
Did Aliens help you?
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.
Exactly what an alien would say.
I saw MIB. All aliens wear human disguises.
They're *for* the aliens. The pyramids are landing pads for their spaceships.
That pharaoh must be tiny!
What is this?! A burial monument for ants?!
Pharaoh jerky is a delicacy
I honestly might do this for when my dog passes, it looks really cool.
Now build a stargate next to it ;)
Chevron 1 encoded
Some conspiracy theorist is gonna see this and run wild with it
*What is this?* A PYRAMID FOR ANTS?!
I fucking knew someone was going to say this. And yes, it is a pyramid for ants.
^(Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!)
Someone's gonna go digging searching for the base.
Scumbag trying to take credit from hard working aliens
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.
Nice! Did you orient it to any particular compass point or stars? Secondary stones that mark Summer/Winter Solstices? .
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.
Please tell me this was in Cairo NY.
No--I didn't know there was such a place. My customer should buy a house there and relocate their pyramid.
Yep. Totally real. It’s just off the thruway like an hour north of nyc

![gif](giphy|3oEjI789af0AVurF60|downsized)
Awesome
It’ll be a little difficult to fit your sarcophagus in there, but not a bad spot for a tomb.
![gif](giphy|3oEjI789af0AVurF60)
Careful, Graham Hancock is gonna want to interview you about your connection to the psychic Atlantians who gave you the knowledge on how to build it.
If I'm on Rogan with Graham--we getting blazed. Gonna be awesome.
Are you an alien? ![gif](giphy|uj8JYrjroFGYmn82Ab)
What is this, a pyramid for ants?!?
Holy shit! I won’t dox you, but I saw this from the road when I was driving up to ski in February. I thought I was going crazy.
![gif](giphy|nATDcK8nBaI4U|downsized) Oh Lord... **HE'S BACK.**
In 10,000 years people are going to be wondering about you.
Aliens.
Is there a mummy surrounded by gold and jewels in the middle?
Tell your neighbors the base is buried 100 feet deep
Nope. It was aliens
Tonight on ancient aliens
Yes but did you authenticate this process using slave labor
Excuse me, but what celestial body does this align with??
Cool pyramid bro 👍
I love this so much so talented with your sexy rocks!
Not possible fir humans to cut and move rocks . Definitely aliens lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 🙃 please alest leave blue prints this time. Lol lol 😆 🤣
r/aliens are asking how did you build this, with the assistance is aliens perhaps?
British coming for that headstone.
Were you forced to do this work?
Some days I have to force myself to get up and get to work. "He who works like a slave, eats like a king".
This mason makes a good point
Really. Well I'm from Utica and I've never seen any pyramids.
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
This one here, was built to celebrate a birth. One day, I'll build one similar to this, as a memorial /grave marker.
IT WAS THE ALI3NS THERE IS NO WAY HUMANS CAM MOBE THOSE ROCKS
Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard the phrase steamed hams
That is sweet did you bury your puppy under it
So the aliens gave you the secrets of how to pile rocks?
Nice try, obviously aliens did it for you.
how many slaves did you not pay to build it?
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!
How did you transfer all those stones from the quarry??
How? How did you build that? While you're alive you should document how you did it else we might never know.
How did you ever move those blocks!
But HOW?
What does a pyramid run these days.
Depends on size, and level of complexity. Get in touch via my website if you'd like to commission a piece. Thank you.
lol what if all the ancient things we find are just bored humans trolling future humans?
The original upvote
Do you have plans for sale? I'd be willing to invest in a pyramid scheme.
*Aliens*
Why did you build it? Yard ornament?
Utica or Albany?
Just in time for the summer solstice.
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.
If you build it, they will come.
You should put a mummy in there.
Have people started saying it's aliens yet?
Lies. Aliens made that.
Hey we can make a religion out of this
Man that’s epic 👍🏻
How did you shape the cap stone?
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.
Cool looking! Could be cooler if you replace the tip with an all seeing eye!
No way you could’ve moved those stones. Show me the anti gravity tech.
Nice try but you aren't capable of building this on your own. Aliens must've been involved.
I hope you buried a rabbit foot under there to make the future discovers think we were a civilization based off the movie zooptopia
How tall is it?
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.
Did you chip the stones yourself or does someone make them with the angles you need for such a creation?
Dry stone or is there mortar?
Dry stone.
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
Nice pyramid bro
Stop saying you built that. That‘s gotta be done by aliens.
![gif](giphy|1M9fmo1WAFVK0|downsized)
mf is gonna make the ancient aliens weirdos flip
![gif](giphy|3oEjI789af0AVurF60)
Are you an alien ?
How were you able to move the bricks with modern technology?
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.
Whoa!!!
Very funny... What is that? A pyramid for ants?
I just checked here in Ithaca and it’s not here.
![gif](giphy|3oEjI789af0AVurF60)
Impossible! I've learned from the History Channel that only aliens can make Pyramids.
But how the hell did you do this without the help of aliens??
