In the many lands, people built pyramids. They brought immense stones on rollers. Many slaves toiled for a single pyramid. Leaders such as Oz and Mand looked on with satisfaction while their peoples suffered. Noble memorials were these and, with the passing of the storms of time, last remnants of great regimes.
Some in these lands built inverted pyramids. They strove to build an inverted pyramid that would always stand on one point. All the architects scoffed at their work: "An inverted pyramid can never stand." Indeed, the builders of inverted pyramids were required to support their structures with scaffolding.
The builders of inverted pyramids were not content with their work. Not knowing how to build, they continued to add to their pyramids. The pyramids might grow to unwieldy size, yet on they built. So it goes till this very day.
A visitor to the many lands will see ancient pyramids, but few ancient inverted pyramids. For as soon as an inverted pyramid falls to the ground--as it is wont to do--its material turns to dust. Yet on the builders build, knowing that, at some point, the great architect will provide them with a plan for an inverted pyramid that will stand always on one point.
