Quoting: Wubbo Ockels Text from video:
"It was built during French occupation of Holland or the lowlands in 1804 by General Marmont. Better said, it is claimed that the troops were idle so and not too long before that the General had been with Napoloen in Egypt and wanted to built such a masterpiece in Holland, for with it's flat landscape, it would really stand-out.
Marmont's army of 18,000 soliders, in a party like atmosphere it is claimed, built this 4-sided pyramid in just 27 days.
Notice how we always get back to 9?
So I was wonder while filming how it may make alignments with the position of the sun, stars or perhaps earthly landmarks. Found this:
Triangle of Abraham
Mohamed Sabet, of the Delft University faculty of architecture,
sees an alignment between Jerusalem, The Great Pyramid at Giza,
the Paris Observatory, Mecca and the Austerlitz Pyramid in Holland."
