Pyramidion Mac OS
Pyramidion is an IGT-powered slots game with an Ancient Egyptian theme. The graphics are sharp and crisp, with golden symbols laid against the backdrop of the great pyramid. The overall look of this slot is very striking, even if it is a bit simple.

A pyramidion (plural: pyramidia) is the uppermost piece or capstone of an Egyptian pyramid or obelisk[1].Speakers of the Ancient Egyptian language referred to pyramidia as benbenet[2] and associated the pyramid as a whole with the sacred benben stone.[3] During Egypt's Old Kingdom, pyramidia were generally made of diorite, granite, or fine limestone, then covered in gold or electrum; during the Middle Kingdom and through the end of the pyramid-building era, they were built from granite.[4] A pyramidion was 'covered in gold leaf to reflect the rays of the sun'; during Egypt's Middle Kingdom pyramidia were often 'inscribed with royal titles and religious symbols'.[3]
Very few pyramidia have survived into modern times. Most of those that remain are made of polished black granite, inscribed with the name of the pyramid's owner. Four pyramidia – the world's largest collection – are housed in the main hall of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Among them are the pyramidia from the so-called Black Pyramid of Amenemhat III at Dahshur and of the Pyramid of Khendjer at Saqqara.[5]:115[6]
A badly damaged white Tura limestone pyramidion, thought to have been made for the Red Pyramid of Sneferu at Dahshur, has been reconstructed and is on open-air display beside that pyramid; it presents a minor mystery, however, as its angle of inclination is steeper than that of the edifice it was apparently built to surmount.
Private brick pyramids with pyramidia[edit]
During the New Kingdom, some private underground tombs were marked on the surface by small brick pyramids that terminated in pyramidia. The four lateral sides included texts and scenes related to the cult of the Sun God (as the representation of Pharaoh).
The scenes typically depict the course of the sun, rising on one lateral face, setting on the opposite face, and traveling, through the night, through the underworld, ruled by Osiris.
Scribe Mose pyramidion[edit]

The pyramidion of Mose (mes,s, New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, c. 1250 BC, limestone, 53 cm tall) depicts himself making an offering, with his name on two opposite faces. The adjacent opposite faces feature a baboon: 'Screeching upon the rising of the Sun, and the Day'. (The baboon is also the god-scribe representation of the Scribe, for the god Thoth.)[7]
Ptahemwia pyramidion[edit]
The pyramidion of Ptahemwia (19th Dynasty, Ramesside Period, c. 1200 BC, limestone, 28 cm wide, 42 cm tall) likewise displays sun-related scenes.[5]:252 The Sun God, Re-Horakhti, and the god of the Underworld, Osiris, are shown on one lateral face.
Facing the two gods, on the adjacent lateral face, is the deceased Ptahemwia, standing in an offering pose, facing three columns of hieroglyphs.[5]:252

Before You Install¶
You will need Python version 2.6 or better to runPyramid.
Pyramid is known to run on all popular UNIX-like systems such as Linux,Mac OS X, and FreeBSD as well as on Windows platforms. It is also known to runon PyPy (1.9+).
Pyramid installation does not require the compilation of any C code, soyou need only a Python interpreter that meets the requirements mentioned.
Some Pyramid dependencies may attempt to build C extensions forperformance speedups. If a compiler or Python headers are unavailable thedependency will fall back to using pure Python instead.
For Mac OS X Users¶
Python comes pre-installed on Mac OS X, but due to Apple's release cycle, it isoften out of date. Unless you have a need for a specific earlier version, it isrecommended to install the latest 2.x or 3.x version of Python.
You can install the latest verion of Python for Mac OS X from the binaries onpython.org.
Alternatively, you can use the homebrew package manager.
Pyramidion Mac Os Update
If you use an installer for your Python, then you can skip to the sectionInstalling Pyramid on a UNIX System.
If You Don't Yet Have a Python Interpreter (UNIX)¶
If your system doesn't have a Python interpreter, and you're on UNIX, you caneither install Python using your operating system's package manager or youcan install Python from source fairly easily on any UNIX system that hasdevelopment tools.
Package Manager Method¶
You can use your system's 'package manager' to install Python. Each packagemanager is slightly different, but the 'flavor' of them is usually the same.
For example, on a Debian or Ubuntu system, use the following command:
This command will install both the Python interpreter and its developmentheader files. Note that the headers are required by some (optional) Cextensions in software depended upon by Pyramid, not by Pyramid itself.
Once these steps are performed, the Python interpreter will usually beinvokable via python2.7 from a shell prompt.
Source Compile Method¶
It's useful to use a Python interpreter that isn't the 'system' Pythoninterpreter to develop your software. The authors of Pyramid tend notto use the system Python for development purposes; always a self-compiled one.Compiling Python is usually easy, and often the 'system' Python is compiledwith options that aren't optimal for web development. For an explanation, seehttps://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/747.
To compile software on your UNIX system, typically you need development tools.Often these can be installed via the package manager. For example, this worksto do so on an Ubuntu Linux system:
On Mac OS X, installing XCode hasmuch the same effect.
Once you've got development tools installed on your system, you can install aPython 2.7 interpreter from source, on the same system, using the followingcommands:
Pyramidion Mac Os Catalina
Once these steps are performed, the Python interpreter will be invokable via$HOME/opt/Python-2.7.3/bin/python from a shell prompt.
If You Don't Yet Have a Python Interpreter (Windows)¶
If your Windows system doesn't have a Python interpreter, you'll need toinstall it by downloading a Python 2.7-series interpreter executable frompython.org's download section (the fileslabeled 'Windows Installer'). Once you've downloaded it, double click on theexecutable and accept the defaults during the installation process. You mayalso need to download and install the Python for Windows extensions.
Warning
Pyramidion Mac Os Download
After you install Python on Windows, you may need to add the C:Python27directory to your environment's Path in order to make it possible toinvoke Python from a command prompt by typing python. To do so, rightclick MyComputer, select Properties --> AdvancedTab -->EnvironmentVariables and add that directory to the end of the Pathenvironment variable.
