A Pyramid Hidden in Plain Sight

The pyramid view is only seen on the east-west access out on country roads that mainly just the locals in Pinnacle, North Carolina see each day.

What proof would we need that it is a pyramid shape? Maybe a pyramid shadow? Or a respected university professor publishing that it looks like “an almost perfect pyramid” in a prestigious journal almost eighty years ago?

Traveling on I-52 the pyramid aspect of Pilot Mountain in Surry County, North Carolina is hidden in modern times.

Pyramid aspect was widely known in the 1800s. Even if you couldn’t read you could see the boxwood engraving in the newspaper depicting the pyramid view. The image (left) was first published in 1836 in a newspaper and later in a textbook in 1858.

This is how the pyramid shadow starts about ninety minutes before sunset. This image catches the pyramid shadow crossing the Pilot Mountain State Park visitor center parking lot. It is moving slowly toward the nearby RV Park and you can see the Sauratown Mountains in the background.

Yes, it certainly is an almost perfect pyramid shadow on the equinox in March and September. The Big Pinnacle acts like a pointer to the east.
