Many questions.

Below are several of the frequently asked questions that inevitably feature prominently in most peoples minds. If your query is not answered on this page please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

We promise to reply as soon as possible.

Why build the Atlantis Pyramid?

For many reasons we believe this to be a defining period in human existence. It is also the start of the new millennium. Regrettably we feel there is nothing appropriate to mark such an historically crucial period. Hence we thought of the Atlantis Pyramid - a monument to humanity that would endure for perhaps tens of thousands of years. In other words the ultimate testimony to this current era.

More information.

Yet more information regarding our motivation for building the Atlantis Pyramid can be found on a separate page devoted entirely to this topic.

How much will it cost to build the Atlantis Pyramid?

The final figures have yet to be worked out. What we can say however is that we are looking at an extremely costly project. It involves an enormous amount of work over a particularly long time and this is sure to be reflected in the final cost. Depending on the location of the Atlantis Pyramid and the availability of the raw materials it is guesstimated that the overall bill will total at anywhere between 1 billion to 1.5 billion dollars.

Where will the money come from?

Finding upwards of 1 billion dollars is no easy business. However we do have a plan towards this goal which will eventually be disclosed at the appropriate moment. The reality is that  the starting capital to initiate this project is very much lower than the final total. Additionally this is a long term project with the costs spread out over many years. It means that in all respects we are confident that the financial aspects of building the Atlantis Pyramid are definitely attainable.

Isn’t it just a waste of time and finance?

Certainly not! Our earlier answer to the question Why build it? illustrates our belief that the Atlantis Pyramid is able to act as a point of focus that will inspire people for generations to come.

Why not spend it on something more deserving?

This is an important question. 1 billion dollars is a lot of money and inevitably some will feel it could be better spent. Our own response to this is simple. The Atlantis Pyramid is intended to be an inspirational source of focus. We intend it to fire the enthusiasm and imagination of countless millions world-wide. Many of these may wish to initiate their own special projects with a keen emphasis on making this world a better place for all who inhabit it. In this respect we believe this could be the best 1 billion dollars ever spent.

Where will the Atlantis Pyramid be built?

The final location has yet to be decided and the decision rests on numerous important factors. Always remember that the Atlantis Pyramid is intended to last for tens of thousands of years. This means that we need a geologically sound base free from the threat of seismic activity. Additionally much of northern Europe is excluded because the soil is simply not solid enough. Other factors involve political and religious implications and all these things combined mean the final choice will be a carefully made decision involving a large team of experts.

How long will it take to build the Atlantis Pyramid?

This very much depends on where the Atlantis Pyramid is finally to be built. Speedy access to  raw materials needed for its construction is a crucial factor. Also of great importance is the skill of the workforce involved. With these things in mind it isn’t surprising that estimates for a completion date vary from between 6 - 25 years. Remember these are the figures that apply from the actual commencement of the work. Actually getting to this point may also take many years. In other words this is not a project to be completed overnight.

How big will the Atlantis Pyramid be?

The exact dimensions and specifications of the Atlantis Pyramid have yet to be decided. However we do intend it to be just a little smaller than the Great Pyramid of Giza. This is a deliberate choice since we believe it would be inappropriate to attempt a construction that was in any way larger than this fantastic monument of ancient Egypt.

Will anyone be entombed inside the Atlantis Pyramid?

Yes. However it has yet to be decided who, or how many bodies will be involved. This decision will be made in due course, and we already have a number of ideas.

Will these bodies be mummified.

Quite probably. However this will depend on the individual wishes of the persons involved.

Will anything else be sealed up in the Atlantis Pyramid.

The Atlantis Pyramid is intended to act as a time capsule for future ages. Sealed up inside it’s subterranean vaults will be a detailed history of humanity with a list of our failings and accomplishments and of course various items that are representative of this age. The exact makeup of this collection has yet to be decided.

Are we a religious group?

We have no formal connection with any religion, cult or sect.

Are we a mystical group?

Atlantis Pyramid is not a mystical group. Our sole purpose is to raise a pyramid that will stand as a focus to this present age in time.
