The Shard opened in London today. It is supposed to resemble a shard of glass. I do not know why a shard of glass has to overlook London. Goodness
knows how it passed planning as it is huge in relation to neighbouring buildings. The top is open.

What is of interest is that it is pyramidal shaped and that there was a thread on the word shard and illuminati in 2008 on ATS.
"Shards
Those whom have descended from the Icelandic Shard are considered “Illuminons” whom belong to a particular global “Shard.” The eternal
“duty” of the Shards is to maintain “global stability” at any personal cost. All in an effort to help usher in an era of global peace and
unity. We have come to learn that in due time humanity will find enlightenment and in it, a new era will emerge. We are the stewards of this movement,
nothing more, nothing less." www.abovetopsecret.com...
Richard Hoagland has named an artefact on one of the lunar photographs the shard.
This is going to be interesting.
Let's see all the brains of the ones who know maths that can hopefully tell us similarities and so forth.
I would love to hear it.
I always love those threads; it really shows how architecture can make people think that something is happening and that there is a purpose for it.
I’m not going to even bother going near that place, to experience. I know viewing London from an optimum angle from one of the tallest buildings
would be a treat. But not for the money they will be requesting.
Meh.
Of what i saw about this , they said they were going to do a lazer light show and illuminate the top of the building - basically having a pyramid
overlook the entire city.
Also this building is the tallest skyscraper in all of Europe apparently,
