The Pyramid Fountain in Russia
The pyramids in Giza, Egypt are solid. Punch your hands through them and you will get a free swollen fist. The same with the pyramids that you will find in the Americas; punch them and they will punch you back. There are of course, many other places with pyramids that are solid. But when you are in Russia, you will get a different setting.In Russia, there you will find the not so solid pyramid. In fact, it is not solid that when you punch your hands through it, instead of your fist stopping at the first contact of its surface, what will happen is that your punch will go through the other side. This is possible because this pyramid is not solid but instead, it is liquid. It is made up of water and it creates the form of a pyramid, this outdoor fountain is known to the locals as the Peterhof - Pyramid Fountain.
To clear things up, this liquid pyramid is not what you think it is. It is something different. The pyramid shape is created because the water gushes out from underneath. Yes! You get it! It is in fact, a water fountain, only it creates a pyramid shape when it is turned on. This is such a wonderful thing to behold. Imagine the engineering of this water fountain. Imagine how it was designed, and how it was made. You can just think of hours spent on it. With all the hours, the brain or thinking, the effort that is placed in this water fountain, you can be sure that it is something really worth visiting when you are in Russia.
