If they were oval, they wouldn't be pyramids. Moreover, the mystery of the pyramid is very much dependent on its shape. It follows pythagoras theorem eventhough they were built much before the theorem was postulated. Due to its shape the dead bodies decay at a very slow rate. The people having skin diseases gets cured by visiting the pyramids because of it shape. So dude, you got the point!!!

One of the largest ruins of the Maya civilization is called the Magician. It is a "pyramid" with an oval base (the technical mathematical name would be a truncated elliptical cone). This is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Mexico.

yes it would have been more famously attractive.!!!
And if you ask me why , then i will say ---till that time and even now (to that scale as the pyramids) was there any thing as grand and scaled as the pyramids.
now lets us not make our logic to that of useless boiled egg when we think why or how they were envisaged not as oval but the 2-d way they are.
i don't think there is really a scientific reason to corroborate the present structure.
to me all it means is tat oval would have really been attractive...
just do a computer graphics of it and or visualize. u will get my point straight.
also its never easy to make big balls and remove ones eye from the big balls....

An oval is a 2d shape, so they couldn't be like that. If they were an ellipsoid prism possibly not, as it's not as impressive, but if they were either and ellipsoid or a spheroid then definately so, these are incredibly hard to construct - much more so than piling a lot of blocks on each other, and remembering to add less on each row.

I supposed they would attract more persons since they would seem mo mysterious. It is easy to imagine how a pyramid can be constructed. An oval seemed me more difficult

I must say that the reason why pyramids are objects of interest is because of their historical background, remember the Egyptian Pyramids. Shapes do not add interest to observation rather their hystory and attraction do.
If you do not aggree I would rather ask you. Would you prefer diamond to corper if it were not sparkling? Would you consider the sun as important if it were not shining bright and giving light? Would you prefer man-made to nature if it were beautiful? The answer to all these is no, and thats because the hystorical background and their attraction superseeds their shape.

perhaps but then they wouldnt be "pyramids" they would be "ovals".......where on earth did you come up with the idea of pyramids being oval-shaped? niice.

Even more so, I think! Who could resist the offer of two weeks exploring the Great Eggs of Egypt?
