# So they are really giant cubes?!
Fascinating...

# The shocking truth.
Also it doesn't work because the pyramids are four-sided, but never mind, eh.

# Change the angle of the cube and it would though ;)

# It could be an octahedron, if it was a square pyramid with another one mirrored underneath
but that's somehow much less arousing geometry that the fact you can get a cube out of four three-sided pyramids.

# ah right, so there would have to be a central cube, with six tetrahedrons attached.

# No, because the base of a tetrahedron has 3 sides.
It could be a central cube with 6 pyramids attached, if the angles were the same then you'd end up with a shape with 6 rhombus-shaped sides, which is kind of cool. I think it's called a rhomboid.

# That's a rhombic dodecahedron, and it has 12 sides

# *closes eyes and imagines* Ahhh, yes, you are correct.
It's still cool though.

As is your animation :)

"I just wanted to point out that pyramids are similar to icebergs, which are basically E-flat. What you see in these photographs is only the tip of the pyramids, whereas it's a matter of record that pyramids continue endlessly downwards till they come out of the other end as the top of deserts. Deserts being one of the few places where you don't get much FIRE or FLOODING. "

# It's all a matter of degree.
It can be argued that pyramids have more in common with other 'material' objects such as icebergs than they do with more 'abstract' constructs such as emotions, or mathematical equations.
