The pyramid on the back of a twenty‑dollar bill isn’t just a fancy design; it’s a relic from the Founding Fathers’ love of symbols. They copied the Great Seal’s unfinished pyramid to show that the nation was a work in progress—strong and enduring, but still being built. The eye above it? A nod to the idea that a higher power, or at least a collective vision, watches over the republic. Some folks still whisper about Masonic influence, but it’s really just an early 19th‑century taste for classic imagery. So while there might be a hint of conspiracy, the pyramid mostly reminds us that our country, like a stone structure, is forever under construction.
