The edifice, according to our news story, was composed of 36 tables that were layered upward into an ever-narrowing triangle that would make an ancient pharaoh proud.

This baby was the summer’s fourth, although not the biggest.

The record goes to a picnic pyramid that was found a few days earlier at Riverfront Park. That monster was made up of 45 tables, which put it at roughly the same height as the Paulsen Building penthouse.

Still, the Manito pyramid had a couple of touches that set it apart.

The still-unknown builders topped it with festive traffic reflector lights. They also left the following in-yer-face note to park employees:

“We heard that our riverfront table pyramids cost $500 each to remove,” it read, “yet they only took 4 teens 25 min to assemble sans equipment! Please stop wasting taxpayer dollars.”
