I swear, this place looks like it could take off like a Ha'tak from Stargate.
I'm coming up on the end of season 2 right now, and I legit thought this was the chevron7 community.
Indeed.
Kree! Tau’ri.
undeniable proof that bass pro shop is what eventually grows into the tyrell corporation
Do you like our owl?
It's artificial?
Of course it is.
Do you like our fish tank?
Are they artifishcial?
Get out.
Wow, never seen this angle before. Pretty obvious that the head used to be something else, like a lion or a jackal, and then at some point a pharaoh went, fuck your ancient religion, I am your god now, here's me face.
Probably a meow meow kitty cat
My hometown's calling card, lol. That's a really great photo.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Pyramid for those who are unfamiliar, it's an interesting building.
The Master Baiters
If you want to know more, 99% Invisible did a podcast episode on the history of the building:

Is this the headquarters of Illuminati?
It's a Bass Pro Shop... but prolly.
It's an outdoors shop. I'll somewhat grudgingly admit that I like what Bass Pro has done with the place, it's an interesting visit if you're in town and like outdoorsy stuff. It's better than what it used to be, which is abandoned. I am disappointed that they didn't put a giant square conference table in the top for arch-villain quarterly meetings though; if I were planning world domination I don't think I could resist doing it in the zenith of a pyramid.
I visited it when I passed through. I wouldn't visit the city just to see it, but I've got to say it's definitely worth the stop if anyone is in the area and hasn't seen it before. I'm not into hunting and fishing, so I can't speak to the quality or value of the gear for sale. I can, however, say that seeing fishing boats for sale, floating at the dock in a pond, indoors beside regular retail-style merchandise racks, all beneath the distant pyramidal ceiling is a unique experience. The glass elevator ride to the top and the view of the city was worth the ticket price, at least once. Would recommend.
Edit: Admittedly they sell various other outdoor gear as well that I would have been qualified to have an opinion on, but I was a bit distracted and not actually browsing the inventory.
It's a Bass Pro Shop. So, yes.
We still build pyramids? Unexpected.
The 10th largest known pyramid in the world.
Does it count as a pyramid if we don't have royalty buried in there?
The tiny geometry gnome in my brain says "yes".
Not too late to address this
Just the one pyramid, actually.
Why one?
Dunno. I only said that because I couldn't think of any other major modern pyramids and it was an excuse to reference Hot Fuzz. Now that I think about it, there's one on the Louvre in Paris as well, so I was wrong anyway. Pyramids plural was correct.
MGM Grand
The beautiful, snowcapped mountains of Tennessee
Weee doooo, weee dooo.
