Nicolas Cage is still alive, he is 54 years old, and among his ancestors there was not a single pharaoh (at least, such facts are unknown), but nevertheless, the actor ordered to create a personal pyramid for him in case of his own death. The pyramid stands in St. Louis Cemetery in New Orleans, kissed and gleaming white in the sunlight.
In fact, the St. Louis cemetery in New Orleans has already been closed - this cemetery is already more than two hundred years old, many famous personalities are buried here, but modern burials are almost not conducted. Despite this, Nicolas Cage managed to buy a large enough plot for himself, where he subsequently erected an almost three-meter pyramid. To date, this statue does not have the name of the actor, and the only thing that is written on this unusual pedestal is "Omnia Ab Uno", which can be translated from Latin as "All from one."
The actor himself never answered questions about this pyramid and did not make any statements. This silence, of course, sparked a wave of speculation and speculation. It is clear that having bought himself a personal pyramid in the cemetery, Nicolas Cage most likely did it in case of his death. However, why is there, why the pyramid and why to do it in advance - that's what worries the imagination of numerous fans of the actor.
Some suggest that Nicolas Cage decided to rest in the pyramid, because he believes in the Illuminati, and even, perhaps, he himself belongs to some secret Masonic organization. Others are convinced that the actor was simply impressed with the idea of burial in the pyramids during the preparation and filming of the 2004 film "National Treasure." Another version says that it is in this pyramid that the actor contains gold and other jewelry that he bought for his royalties.
It would seem - let a person do what he likes, but the pyramid of Nicolas Cage really does not give many rest. The city guides have turned it into a new attraction and regularly bring curious tourists here to the cemetery. Residents of New Orleans express their dissatisfaction, because, in their opinion, this pyramid spoils the ancient spirit of the cemetery with its kitsch appearance, and in general it takes up four standard places. And the fans of the actor believe that this pyramid is an excellent opportunity to express their respect and love - they leave traces of their kisses on it.
However, the tradition of kissing the monument clearly did not begin with the pyramid of Nicholas Cage - suffice it to recall the no less scandalous monument on the grave of Oscar Wilde - you can read more about it in our article "The Kissed Monument."
