- One of the largest pyramids in the world is a Bass Pro Shops megastore in Memphis, Tennessee.
- The pyramid also hosts a hotel, indoor swamp, and bowling alley.
- However, for roughly a decade, the pyramid was empty - and some believed it was cursed due to a crystal skull installed by the owner of the Rainforest Café.
The pyramid has long captured the human imagination, with people traveling far and wide to view the architectural wonders that spring up from the sands of Egypt.
But to see one of the biggest pyramids on the planet, Americans don't need to leave the country - they can just travel to Tennessee and visit a Bass Pro Shops.
In 2015, Memphis' 321-foot-tall "Great American Pyramid" reopened as a Bass Pro Shop megastore after being abandoned for roughly a decade. The 32-floor pyramid contains a hotel, an indoor swamp, and a bowling alley.
The road to opening a Bass Pro Shop in an enormous pyramid has been a rocky one. Here's the story behind how a hunting and fishing gear store opened up shop in one of the largest pyramids in the world.
