Alexandr Golod Pyramid, Tver Oblast, Russia
Dr. Golod, a Moscow-based scientist and defense engineer, began building his mysterious pyramids in 1990. By 2001 he had completed 17 of them in various parts of Russia and the Ukraine. By 2010 that number had increased to over 50 pyramids worldwide, with the majority in Russia and the Ukraine. Each pyramid has an internal framework of PVC pipes that are then covered with sheets of fiberglass to form smooth faces. They were designed to fit the Golden Section phi ratio of 1 to 1.618, a standard ratio found in nature that can be used to create beautiful, natural looking compositions.
This proportion makes the structures steeper than the Egyptian pyramids, with a slope of about 70 degrees. The top is nearly twice as high, relative to the perimeter of its base, making Golod’s pyramids look more like church steeples or obelisks.
The most massive pyramid stands at 144 feet (44 meters) and weighs over 55 tons. It took five years to complete and cost over a million dollars (USD) to build. The most incredible thing about these structures is that they lack a single metal element. Dr. Golod claimed that any metal in the pyramid would cause the magic effects to decrease immensely, if not disappear altogether, and would absorb any energy fields that might be at work.
