		The photos should be a "portrait" of the mountain (cropped if necessary) and not one just showing a particular ridge or part of the peak.
		Although the mountain's slopes from this angle are similar to those of the Egyptian pyramids, the peak lacks the three dimensional aspect which a true pyramid requires.
