All Pyramids thus far explored have interior spaces designed for roughly human-scale inhabitants. The architecture inside the Pyramids is minimalist and geometric, but with many intricate details and a variety of construction materials. The atmosphere within is generally oppressive and foreboding, featuring chambers and hallways illuminated by harsh red and white lights, deep chasms or pits whose depths are obscured by mist, and huge bleakly-illuminated open spaces stretching for many kilometers into the distance. Although the Lunar Pyramid had been left buried beneath the surface of the Moon for centuries, numerous sounds can be heard within its walls including harsh whispers, an ever-present hum of machinery, and distant howls. The [[Chantry of the Darkest Hour]] within the Lunar Pyramid contains a pair of colored stone statues and a huge room that then extends into an empty chamber. | All Pyramids thus far explored have interior spaces designed for roughly human-scale inhabitants.

Most of the Pyramids explored thus far have been shown to contain statues of veiled [[Precursors (Species)| | Most of the Pyramids explored thus far have been shown to contain statues of veiled [[Precursors (Species)|Precursors]]. One such example is the statue found within the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] that [[Clovis Bray I]] refers to as "[[Clarity Control]]". All Pyramids have also been seen to contain what appear to be partially-completed statues made of colored stone; in general these vaguely resemble humanoid or equine figures, but it is unclear what, if anything, they actually represent. The Pyramids' interior spaces also contain what appear to be urns of various shapes and sizes, either arrayed in open spaces or stored in racks set into walls. [[Hidden]] agents have also reported that some explored Pyramids contain specimens of alien fauna placed on display, some of which give off biosigns despite having been cut apart or otherwise appearing to be deceased.<ref> https://www.light.gg/db/items/2374129871/cenotaph-mask/</ref> | ||
It was revealed by the creature known as [[Ahsa]] that the Pyramids were originally crafted by an ancient humanoid civilization that later became the Witness, and that they were used as starships. It is therefore possible that many of the artifacts seen within the Pyramids were left behind by the Witness' people when they transcended their physical forms and merged their consciousnesses into the Witness.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7QkdWMV18&t=626s</ref> | It was revealed by the creature known as [[Ahsa]] that the Pyramids were originally crafted by an ancient humanoid civilization that later became the Witness, and that they were used as starships.

The [[Sunken Pyramid]] within [[Savathûn's Throne World]] seems to display a degree of personalization based on the aesthetic desires of its resident, the Disciple [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]]. Many walls are adorned with murals or seemingly abstract colored shapes, some of which are explicitly representational and others whose purpose or meaning, if any, is unknown. Rhulk also has placed a number of displays throughout his domain, including a pedestal supporting a rib bone from the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]] of [[Fundament]], which he personally removed from the beast during their confrontation. Inside one of the rooms, a cross section of a [[Worm]] can be seen inside multiple amber-colored glass cases, signifying Rhulk's role in the ascension of the Hive. | The [[Sunken Pyramid]] within [[Savathûn's Throne World]] seems to display a degree of personalization based on the aesthetic desires of its resident, the Disciple [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]].

One Pyramid known as the [[Typhon Imperator]] lacks the tetrahedral shape as commonly seen with other Pyramids in the Black Fleet. Its profile is a flattened arrow-like shape, with a wide front and tapered wedge-shaped stern. It shares various interior aspects as other Pyramids like the Sunken Pyramid along with the extravagant and opulent fashion of [[Emperor Calus]] and his [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] with various depictions of the Emperor through memorabilia, statues and overflowing chests. | |||
Inside the Witness's flagship, [[Essence]], it contains a [[Macrocosm|collection of planets and moons]] where the planetary bodies abducted by the Witness can be found and in one of the hidden rooms, fossils of a mollusk and a vertebra of an unknown species can be found. Murals of Earth organisms congregate around a statue of Nezarec. Otherwise, it is the same as most Pyramid architecture the Guardians have explored. | |||

Unlike other Pyramids, the [[The Drowned Pyramid|Drowned Pyramid]] appears as a bare maze with various twists, turns and dead ends, all of which leads to the veiled statue that is used to commune to [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]'s oceans and sands also appear in various regions of the Pyramid as if it were left vacant for some time, enduring the exposure of Titan's crushing methane oceans. | Unlike other Pyramids, the [[The Drowned Pyramid|Drowned Pyramid]] appears as a bare maze with various twists, turns and dead ends, all of which leads to the veiled statue that is used to commune to [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]].

There are also structures that contain Pyramid architecture scattered throughout the world such as those in the [[Exo Challenges]], [[Harvest]], [[Disjunction]], the [[Relic (Mars)|Relic]], the [[Ziggurat]], and [[Metamorphosis]] | |||
