    The type of pyramid that stands at Giza is actually unique to Egypt.

    Regarding the copyright, maybe you are thinking of a patent.

    As Egypt would not be the first country to place a copyright on their monuments or national treasures and other significant features of its national heritage.

    The U.K. has a copyright in some if its national monuments as does France. There is also a copyright on the use of the Olympic flag and it is not held by the person who initially designed it, but by the Olympic Games Committee.

    we built the pyramids while you were still jumping on trees so we have the right to copyright it

    and yes Of course Egypt was the first country to build pyramids

    It's our right because we're egyptians and the pyramid is egyptian enough with the whole world trying to steal our monuments and our history and our culture if you have such a monument like the pyramid or the sphinx we wont mind if you wanna copyright it too

    i myself do no longer comprehend how they are in a position to. you're suitable approximately copyrights expiring. it is not in basic terms American regulation, it extremely is regulation in accordance to a worldwide copyright treaty referred to as the Berne convention that rather lots each united states of america interior the worldwide is a occasion to. possibly they're going to argue that the copyright might desire to initiate now and then final for a definite style of years. yet that doesn't make too lots experience. i think of it extremely is in basic terms a shot in the lifeless of night. i think they are in a position to in basic terms say that it extremely is copyrighted, yet no one will pay any interest to that

    the original blueprints are sadly in an Atlantean basement currently at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

    But seriously I hope it doesn't go overboard with any pryamidal shapes.

    bright idea.

    but no one has the means or the time to make a copy of the pyramids.

    even if he does , where can he build them ?
