It will not be completed before 3183: the "Pyramid of Time" is being built in Germany

In Germany, in the city of Wemding, a sculpture of concrete blocks called "Pyramid of Time" is being built, which is planned to be completed by 3183, The New York Times reports.
The idea belongs to the artist Manfred Laber, who died in 2018.
He proposed the "Pyramid of Time" project in 1993 for the 1200th anniversary of his city. In 2003, Laber and city officials established the Wemding Time Pyramid Foundation to fund and manage the artwork after his lifetime. Blocks are installed once every 10 years, there are still 116 left. Therefore, the "Pyramid of Time" will be completed only in the next millennium.

 
The building should be about seven meters high. This is what the final sculpture should look like: Several generations of Wemding residents were among the audience: children, parents, grandparents.
One audience member, who came with her 9-year-old son, said she attended the first ceremony when she was about 5 or 6 years old. For people who live in the city, remembering the progression of the pyramid helps mark the periods of their lives. At the end of the 20th century, Laber was not the only German artist who explored the impact of time on different generations.

 
From 1982 to 1987, the artist Josef Beuys planted thousands of oak trees in the city of Kassel for a work called "7000 Oaks". And in 1996, the sculptor Bogomyr Ekker created the "Tropfstein machine", an artificial stalactite that dripped for 500 years in Hamburg's Kunsthalle museum.
Laber's "Pyramid of Time" will now remind people that each generation has a "duty to posterity," said Klaus Schlecht, a member of the foundation and a longtime acquaintance of the artist.
