The Peace pyramid has been presented to the United Nations Headquarters on 23 May 2000 to the representatives of Benin, Grenada, Lesotho, Monaco, Russian Federation, United States of America and the Peace Keeping Operation
The peace pyramid
The peace pyramid represents a tangible and symbolic form of peace, evoking the human genius and his/her inner aspirations to peace. It is a place for events related to peace: conferences, peace negotiations, research center, training place, library dedicated to peace.
The first peace pyramid will be built in the centre of Wanilo University in Benin and will be dedicated to the students library. The pyramid surface will be about 600 square meters and will be built with traditional and modern materials: local red bricks, ridge solar panels, etc. The pyramid will have a light shaft from top to bottom, the building will be the intellectual and visual point of convergence of the University.
The objective of the peace pyramids project is to duplicate the concept wherever needed by the local populations or sponsors, regardless of the available financial resources, to materialize peace through dedicated places for people willing to work for peace.

STUDY OF PEACE PYRAMID CONCEPT
The pyramid is geometrical concept, it is like a cube that has been titled on its side and cut in two pieces.
The visible part represents the outer world or more exactly our physical world, our reality world, it is also a reflection of our inner world ( a desire of calm and peace).
The invisible part represents our inner world, our deep roots, our true nature, our spiritual gate.
Because our true human nature is good, the entrance to the pyramid towards the inside of the earth is destined to be a growing path to bring the awareness of our pure self, our inner self to any person with different political, religion or race background who would enter the pyramid; to put them in a state of mind to discuss future enlightenment thoughts for peace.
For this reason main earthy elements of the planet will be represented on the base space of the pyramid ( Fire, Earth. Air, Water, wood, minerals...( Maybe one huge quartz crystal on a water base plane). Some part of the bottom will be filled with water coming all the way from the top of the pyramid reflecting when time comes the sun or the moon through a huge round glass window ( or an open space) at ground level.
Waterfalls would flow along the walls and therefore making the link to the upper level.
The idea is the visualization of this moving energy from sun to moon, moon to sun in a space where the inner self merge with the outer self, physical plane to spiritual realms, and where our reality world follow and grow the expression of our true nature.
Note: almost all the pyramids in Egypt had underground chambers below ground level.
The pyramid is composed with 3 open floors on its center, adjusted proportionally as we move to the top giving the full sense of depth and height of the pyramid, the third level center, audio visual, computers and a restaurant, the ground level floor is reserved for International Conference on Peace, this ground level floor will have a huge round glass window on it’s center ( or a wide open center) allowing the light to go through to the underground pyramid.
To attract and distribute the natural light coming from the dome glass of the pyramid, different reflecting technology devices such as mirrors would automatically capture the light inside the pyramid; their directional angle would be constantly moving following the position of the sun at day time, light from the moon or the stars at night.
External shape
This pyramid will be based on the one we know in Egypt, specially for directional position toward the north pole, it’s angle ( 52 degrees). Different pyramid specialists will be consulted for this matter.
Limestone’s or rough natural stones in the location of the pyramid will be used for the external façade of the pyramid so that it would look like there is no separation line from the pyramid to the ground, carrying the effect of a continuous flow of the landscape, projecting an overhaul vision of unity, between earth and human structure.
Note: The Egyptians wanted to have their pyramid invisible so that from a far distance in the desert they would seem to look like mountains so that enemies would not suspect the existence of such an advanced civilization. If the enemies would come closer the appearance of the Sphinx as guardian protector would scare them away.
Conclusion
We have the strong belief that the construction of the pyramid at the time of the Pharaohs struggled the same problem as we are facing today: finance, time, human sacrifice and beliefs reasons, but the Ancients have promise eternal life for the Pharaohs if they would agree to do it, so the mummification was part of the ritual.
