This extraordinary pyramid structure stands proudly somewhat incongruously in the rural land of\u00a0Wadsworth Illnois, USA.<\/p>\n

Built by Jim Onan in the 1970s, as a result of his spiritual fascination with the power of pyramids and ancient Egyption history, the six storey 17,000 square foot Gold Pyramid house is the Onan’s family home.<\/p>\n

The home, which sits on an\u00a0island is\u00a0surrounded by a giant moat, and is surrounded by a 50-foot statue of King Tut, a metal palm tree. \u00a0The building, which cost\u00a0$1 Million to embellish in gold, is thought to be America’s largest 24k Gold plated structure and\u00a0has attracted\u00a0much attention, from tourists and celebrities. \u00a0Michael Jackson wanted to shoot a music video inside it and Mohammed Ali offered to buy the pyramid with the intention of turning it into a training centre.<\/p>\n

We would love to visit the pyramid and see it in its true form but in the meantime, we’ll be watching this Home Made Travel Channel Documentary which featured it:<\/p>\n
