From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of pyramid mausoleums in North America. This Egyptian Revival funerary architecture was generally an extravagance of American tycoons who wanted themselves remembered as long and as well as the ancient pharaohs. Many of these date from the 1890s to the 1920s, when older, more modest expressions of "Egyptomania" gave way to "Egyptian temples or pyramids replete with guardian sphinxes, lotus-bedecked urns and columns, and Egyptian- themed stained glass windows."[1]
