Fruit taken object, preserve foods, sharpen or maintain sharpness of razor blades, improve health and trigger sexual urges. Fruit turn to ripe from green and will dehydrate gradually when it is in pyramid and be preserved naturally, fruit will decay and rotten when it was outside the pyramid. Food and water from pyramid contain power energized and higher biological value, used for healing and people who use will feel energized and refreshed, it also healed over period of time in pyramid.

Venus of Willendorf

The most famous early image of a human, a woman. a superbly crafted sculpture of a naked obese woman from the stone age. It is made of oolitic limestone, and was covered with red ocher when found. It measures 110 mm in height and is dated 30,000 and 25,000 BC.The sculpture shows a woman with a large stomach and breast that overhangs but does not hide her pubic area.Her forearms, however, are thin, and are shown draped over and holding, with cursorily indicated fingers.Small markings on her wrists seem to indicate the presence of bracelets. A roll of fat extends around her middle, joining with large but rather flat buttocks.in search Some say it is braided hair, and some say it is a woven hat pulled low over the face, but on what i see the head is mostly covered.but she don't have feet.in research Archeologists have suggested many different ways of understanding its significance for the nomadic society which made it. The first suggestion is that it was a "Venus figure" or "Goddess," used as a symbol of fertility. A more common explanation is that because the statuette served as a fertility idol, the sculptor included only those parts of the female body needed for the conception and nurture of children.The second suggestion is that the figurine may have served as a good luck charm. the actual purpose of this sculpture created is unclear, if think from basic it might be as simply a Stone-Age doll for a child. A third possible significance put forth is that of the figurine serving as a mother goddess.This comes from a suggestion that the statue was a woman whose specialness was indicated in her obesity since women in a hunter gatherer society would probably not have had the opportunity to get as obese.If for the representation it might represent a fat women.

Pyramid form

In the history the Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for King Khufu. In this enigmatic structure, there are some things that just don’t add up to fit the traditional tomb belief. The Egyptians believed that the world was created on an island known as the mound of creation, and they may have thought that the tall pyramid rising out of the flat desert looked a bit like this island.According to research, the build of pyramid contains a basic unit of sacred measurement, astronomical knowledge, scientific constants, mathematics, and even a chronograph depicting prophecy.As the form of pyramid some of Egypt's earliest graves are marked by a low mound of earth-a small-scale copy of the mound of creation-and it may be that the pyramid is a more developed form of this mound. They might have thought that a ramp or stair-like building would help the spirit of the dead king to travel to the sky, and they may even have thought that the straight sides of the pyramid looked a bit like the sun's rays.Finally, the pyramid, with its wide flat base, was probably the easiest architectural shape to build. But not all pharaohs built pyramids. as example of The kings of the New Kingdom, including Tutankhamen, were buried in secrecy in rock-cut tombs.

Ai wei wei

Ai wei wei a Chinese artist, activist, and philosopher, who is also active in architecture, curating, photography, film, and social and cultural criticism. Most of the master piece and work of his in my research was more to re-create a furniture to become a artistic art work.

he mostly using past dynasty furniture by using the method of mix and match to re-create another artistic piece of work. it seem spoiled the original of the art work, but he re-create a new artistic piece of the same material to a different point of view, it shows that we could also see and feel things on a different way. he make things and thinking out of the box and the box is never in a shape of square.

he also involve in the most famous architecture in china the ' bird nest stadium '  . in his different point of view, he using only line and metal to build up the huge stadium. the repetition of the line giving a smooth flow of the shape of a bird nest, it look simple as it involve only lines but it is very complexity between the arrangement of the line. each of the simple line need to arrange in a proper space and place to assure the supporting of the whole stadium. As it look simple but feel complicated. it is a great creation of lines to shape.

egyptian culture applied in malaysia

Egyptian archway culture is also applied at Malaysia Sunway pyramid shopping mall. A portrait massive structure characterized by thick, sloping wall that echoing a method of construction used to obtain stability in mud walls. As well as apply at the archway from Malaysia, the thickness of the structures use to stability and balance the both side of arch. The motifs of Egyptian ornamentation are symbolic, such as the scarab, or sacred beetle, solar disk, and the vulture. In Egypt it also inscribed for decorative purposes as well as to record historic events or spells. As for the motifs, Malaysia applied the same symbolic as Egyptian but more to shapes and lines. In addition for the decorative purpose of the display in Malaysia, in front of the archway has included of two sphinxes of the symbolic of loyalty and guardian.

The Sphinx and Great Pyramid is applied in Malaysia architecture, which the architect is the exterior design of the Sunway pyramid shopping mall. The outlook of the both pyramid is the same, its included the criteria of smooth surface, is a equally size for the 4 side of the square surface, sloping embankment was built up to or around the pyramid. Which the pyramid stated in Malaysia is purpose of storage, but an entertainment area. The sphinx is also displayed in front of the pyramid same as Egypt symbol of a guardian for the pyramid. In Egypt sphinx has the haunches of a lion, the wings of a great bird, and the face and breast of a woman. The difference of the sphinx in Malaysia is that it is in a lion structures.

The Corinthian order in Egyptian culture has also appeared in Malaysia architecture the columns that displayed in the picture are in one of the Malaysia’s hotel. The design of Corinthian in Egypt is applied acanthus leaves growing around a votive basket support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or ceilings rest. Malaysia have the same design as like Egyptian which in a basket design but more to like a vase and craved with some leaves and flower on the vase, and also the same purpose of supportive. In architecture of Egyptian, "column" refers to such a structural element that also has certain proportional and decorative features. The column at the hotel is more to a decorative element that are engaged with a wall of windows. The size of the Corinthian in Egypt is much higher than the columns that display in the picture above. The reason of the size design which why is shorter might because of the architect structure is difference in the building in the picture having levels. The column is placed at most probably the 2^nd level of the building and it’s more to decorative purpose.

Different mosque that place in a different area will have a difference stories of high and built material, the material of mosque in Egyptian is more on marble and lime stone.
