Check out this building I saw.

[camreeno]

I was driving last week and saw this building alongside the road and was fortunate enough to drive back and take some pictures. Anyway I noticed a yet again, pyramid and capstone theme. This was taken in Mountain View, California (the same city where Google headquarters is) in the Silicon Valley.

I walked around the place briefly but didn't want to look weird taking pictures with people working there, and noticed a fountain with what looks like a pyramid with missing capstone. Architectural coincidences or intentional symbolism? Knowing Google is closeby I wouldn't be surprised.

If you wanna check Google Earth it's Latitude 37°23'14.44"N, Longitude 122° 3'39.82"W

For Google Street View it's 499 E Evelyn Ave, Mountain View, CA, United States

Good find! When it comes to architecture or any kind of public building incorporating symbology or 'sacred' geometry every single fixture and detail is usually there for a reason beyond the obvious face value of it all.
This building that you photo'd is particularly interesting, especially the fountain that looks like some sort of Aztec/Egyptian-esque sacrifical platform.

Not physically take a picture, but save the computer screen and crop part of it? You know what I mean, right?

There is a button usually in the upper right section of your keyboard called "print screen" -- hitting that captures the image on your screen at the time of pressing the button. Go into a paint program, and then just Paste it (control+V or right-click then paste) and save it.

(Note: cut/copying any text will replace the print-screen image copy, so paste the image before you want to copy any text)

handy neat free prog for windows

Want to create a screenshot suitable for saving or printing? Then just hit a key on your keyboard. Oh yeah, you'll have to download this program first.

There are several hotkey combos to choose from (PrintScreen is the default). Once you've chosen your favorite combo, head to the Destination tab and have the screen print out instantly, copy the capture to the clipboard, save it to a specific folder, or even send it through e-mail. You can perform full screen captures, or only capture a specific window.


Gadwin PrintScreen is an easy to use freeware utility that allows you to capture any portion of the screen, save it to a file, copy it to Windows clipboard, print it or e-mail it to a recipient of your choice.

There are also six different image formats to choose from, and each one can be resized. With all the customization capabilities, what more could you ask for?

I have this running all the time and have it on "rectangle area " in the source menu when you click on the icon

that way i press "print screen" I can select a section of my screen to save

I see what you're saying but it just doesn't sit properly with me. How would that work then? Every architect that designs a building with a pyramid shaped roof is incorporating symbology?

The roof at my work is pyramid shaped did the person who designed that try to get some ancient Egypt thing going? Nope, it probably just makes sense from a structural viewpoint.

That's a whole lot of people you are insinuating has a role to play in this stuff.

Thanks for the help with that guys. Anyway the red dot is where I took the picture towards the entrance. The orange dot is where I took the picture of that fountain. Anything weird about the layout of the building?

Yeah, it looks like a game of tetris.

That's a whole lot of people you are insinuating has a role to play in this stuff.If it was just an ordinary pyramid I would have looked away, but here we have this black capstone part which makes it suspicious. I'm not saying it's Illuminati architecture, but just that it could be.

You can say they could have just wanted to look stylish and randomly chose a pyramid but the problem with that is anyone who would design a building would usually be aware of architectural styles, symbolism, and history, and I'm guessing they would be aware of any Egyptian vibe anyone would get out of it.

For someone to be of that calibur to design a building like that, it indicates to me that they probably knew what they were doing. Again, it's just speculation, after all I don't know who the hell works there or anything... but I know for sure electronics or software companies work there, as I saw different logos on different chunks of the buildings with the word "software" in them, and maybe something else. Again, it's near the Googleplex and we already know that company's ties with the CIA and whatnot and their collaboration with the government in tracking searches and other things. So it can be a huge coincidence or genuine symbolism in my view.

Here's the real view, with the top being north.
