RE: Lincoln Memorial as a Pyramid?
I like the Greek Temple concept for this reason.
"The commission and Congress ultimately agreed to upgrade the Potomac Park site and approved architect Bacon's proposal to build a huge, neoclassical Greek Doric temple. The temple was based on the Parthenon in Athens. Bacon believed that "a memorial to the man who defended democracy should be modeled after a structure from the birthplace of Democracy," according to the National Park Service." https://www.stripes.com/news/us/lincoln-...o-1.583587
