When you see the pyramids up close, they're not as smooth as they appear. Rather, you can see blocks of about 5ft each stacked up. The alabaster (sp?) was removed over the years for money. e.g. the pyramids used to be white.

Trip to egypt

1-day time-lapse of the pyramid at Pyramid Lake, Nevada. August 2006. Pyramid Lake is located between Reno and Black Rock Desert where Burning Man takes place every year. There are many camping areas all around the lake. I've tried about a dozen, I love the lower camping area at Popcorn rock for instance but the beach by the Pyramid is my favorite spot. You need to get a permit from the <a href="http://www.plpt.nsn.us/">Paiute tribe</a> before camping there.
