It was revealed by the creature known as [[Ahsa]] that the Pyramids were originally crafted by an ancient humanoid civilization that later became the Witness, and that they were used as starships. It is therefore possible that many of the artifacts seen within the Pyramids were left behind by the Witness' people when they transcended their physical forms and merged their consciousnesses into the Witness.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7QkdWMV18&t=626s</ref> | It was revealed by the creature known as [[Ahsa]] that the Pyramids were originally crafted by an ancient humanoid civilization that later became the Witness, and that they were used as starships.

Within the [[The Ionian Pyramid|Ionian Pyramid]], a unique chamber was discovered in the form of a cavernous shrine. At its center, a stone idol of a Pyramid stood before numerous effigies of several races found within the Sol System, beyond which lay numerous pillars. These effigies included depictions of [[Hive]], [[Fallen]], [[Cabal]], and [[Guardian]]s of the Last City, all gazing up at the Pyramid. Shadows of the Pyramid stretched across the ground, reaching out towards the surrounding races, the largest extending out towards the Fallen. | Within the [[The Ionian Pyramid|Ionian Pyramid]], a unique chamber was discovered in the form of a cavernous shrine.

The [[Sunken Pyramid]] within [[Savathûn's Throne World]] seems to display a degree of personalization based on the aesthetic desires of its resident, the Disciple [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]]. Many walls are adorned with murals or seemingly abstract colored shapes, some of which are explicitly representational and others whose purpose or meaning, if any, is unknown. Rhulk also has placed a number of displays throughout his domain, including a pedestal supporting a rib bone from the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]] of [[Fundament]], which he personally removed from the beast during their confrontation. | Inside the [[The Europan Pyramid|Europan Pyramid]], there are doors that open on approach and platforms that shift periodically. The various chambers within the Pyramid has displays of various structures resembling Mesopotamian and Egyptian architecture inside colored glass cases and blocks of colored stone stacked on top of each other. It also has a miniature Pyramid inside one of the rooms as well, and in some chambers contain floors of colored stone, glass, and the usual obsidian-like material used in all Pyramid architecture. | ||

Inside the Witness's flagship, [[Essence]], it contains an [[Macrocosm|orrery]] where the planetary bodies abducted by the Witness can be found and in one of the hidden rooms, fossils of a mollusk and a vertebra of an unknown species can be found. Murals of Earth organisms congregate around a statue of Nezarec. Otherwise, it is the same as most Pyramid architecture the Guardians have explored. | |||
