Another way of making this kind of project is with obsidian casting, then you can engrave the walls/outside, personally i would go for some kind of hybrid, obsidian on the inside for the engravings but high value metal bars for the outside, and the capstone should be a huge gem or something but i think for your pyramid to be symmetrical you need the top level to be composed of 4 ramps. Anyone have experiance with pyramids/ramp construction?

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

The side view would be this:

Or this:

The easy way to do this would obviously to gen a new world with max amount of minerals, embark on a volcano and use "revealall" command in DFhack, mine out all the valuables, trade everything rejected of value for gear, materials and things to melt into bars if you run out of what you need.

But then, if you wish to do it the dwarven way...

I don't know about unicorns, but back in .95, one of my PA soldiers was diagnosed with power armor. I drew a fairly good picture about it, but my science project (a bunny) pissed all over it.
