I have noticed that our dollar bill has a pyramid on the back, and we have skyscrapers......
So did Egypt build the pyramids (since they are not as advanced as us) to try to compete with our skyscrapers?
And did they get the idea for a shape from our dollar bill?
Has anyone else ever noticed this?

Have you also noticed that the Greeks stole their architecture from many of our public buildinds and monuments, and Romans copied our interstate highway system by building roads across their empire? But the most far reaching example of people trying to be like us is the English, who even adopted our language.

Maybe one of the Mayans down in Mexico went over to Egypt to give them an Idea on how to build a Pyramid! That is the only place in AMERICA that we have Pyramids. Also In South America. Here in the United States of America, we have Indian Mounds that were build, not Pyramids! So maybe this will help you figure out where Egypt got the Idea!!

for the record, the pyramids were built circa 2000 B.C. America was discovered in 1492 A.D, and the United States was founded in 1776 A.D, which was a break off society (from Great Britian) which itself was an old break-off society from another society (Ancient Rome) that didn't acquire it until about 2100 years after the pyramids were built. That would have had to be some pretty incredible forsight for the ancient Egyptians to see that one coming.
The pyramid that you are seeing on the back of a dollar is in fact a masonic symbol. Check out the link below for more info

Ummm. No. They pyramids were built thousands of years before anyone even began exploring North America. Ben Franklin is the one who designed the pyramid on the dollar bill, with a dark Western side to show the birth of a new nation. The pyramid was a symbol of something strong, classic, and that could withstand centuries.

I have noticed this as well.... I have also noticed on the $1.00 bill, that above the eagle's head is a glory with 13 stars. AND the number thirteen, symbolizing the 13 original colonies, ALSO a number sacred to the Egyptians, signifying rebirth or reincarnation, could signify the rebirth of Egypt in the colonies. It shows up numerous times:
13 stars above the eagle
13 steps on the Pyramid
13 letters in ANNUIT COEPTIS
13 letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM
13 vertical bars on the shield
13 horizontal stripes at the top of the shield
13 leaves on the olive branch
13 fruits
13 arrows
Coincidence or Egyptian jealousy??????????

Are you serious? The pyramids were built around 2500 BC... that's like 4400 years before we even thought of skyscrapers or printed money. The only people in america at that time were native americans and they were living, for the most part, in caves and cliff dwellings.

Yes, I noticed this too. They got the idea from the dollar bill and went ahead and made a few pyramids, not even realizing that in the US we don't even do pyramids. On top of that they forgot to put windows in them.

No. The Egyptians built the pyramids thousands of years prior to the development of our nation, let alone our dollar bill.

ummm no. for some reason i think the Egyptians that built the pyramids never saw a US Dollar...maybe because the dollar didn't exist.
