This is what the pyramids used to look like. They were covered with polished white limestone and had a peak made of pure gold. (lemmy.today)

I'm for it, but I think it would be very expensive to get it up to code.

The Pyramids are just piles of rocks, with no modern purpose.

Really, we should use these things for their intended purpose, if possible. And, keep them in good condition. We do it with other historic buildings.
