The entrepreneurs want to build a 1,600-foot-tall "Great Pyramid" near the east German town of Dessau, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

However, instead of holding only one pharaoh and a handful of others, this pyramid would hold millions of people, the British newspaper said. Jens Thiel, one of the masterminds behind the project, said a major priority would be to ensure space in the pyramid would be affordable to all. "Our current estimates are that a burial space in a concrete block will cost up to ($955), depending on the size," he said. "Outlasting physical existence was reserved for the select few in Egypt, but this pyramid will be open to everyone. No one should be denied a place just because they can't afford it."
