Cafe-bar "Pyramid-2000" (Tverskaya st., 18A) opened the doors for the first visitors in June of this year. It is located in the city center, in a very busy place, and has two floors. The main idea of ​​the designers was to find something new, unusual, unlike anything else. To link, for example, Egypt with Cosmos, a stone with a metal, a past with a future. The pyramid, in the opinion of the authors, is a spacecraft, under the stone lining of which a complex mechanism is hidden. Therefore, the walls of the cafe-bar are lined with stone, and the details of the most complicated equipment are visible in the breaks. The "Pharaoh-pilot" (made of stone by the artists of the "Atoll") is the owner of the spacecraft, rightfully occupies a central place in the hall. He has a wardrobe at his feet, and a disc jockey control console is on his lap. Now, after many thousands of years, we are trying to unravel the sacred secret of the ancient Pyramid through the cracks of weathered stones. And it gradually opens to us. Through the cold of motionless masks, the living faces of those who created the Great Civilization in the Beginning of Times slowly emerge. They were subject to the elements and amazing cars. They came down from the stars to tell us: "Love rules the World." Then we were not ready for this, and They left. We are left with only memory and silent machines. To preserve them, we built from stone what we saw with our own eyes. Now is the time. The "Pyramid" opens. This is the beginning of the ancient mystery. In the movement of air, the breath of Eternity trembles, and once again the revelation of Cosmos sounds.
