Zum Buch von Ingo Niermann: "Man wollte, dass überall in Berlin Ökosandwiches und nicht mehr nur Döner und Buletten zu kaufen waren, oder alte Filme, die man liebte, mit neuen unzerkratzten Kopien in die Kinos bringen. Man stellte Kunst aus, auch wenn die Sammler fehlten. Sammelte weiterhin Kunst, auch wenn längst das Geld fehlte. Diese Unternehmer schienen trotz Misserfolg keine Verlierer zu sein. Sie hatten immer gewusst, dass ihre Chancen gering waren. Wer etwas um jeden Preis verkaufen will, muss eben selber zahlen."
It cost us some money and a lot of time to put things back in order and to move our content to
the new web address www.thegreatpyramid.de this year. But Thiel has not ceased to bother us now that his “nasty breakdowns” have apparently subsided. At the old association’s web address, he claimed that our website is just a “hype”. In October he launched his own “The Great Pyramid” website onto which he is copying our content, falsely asserting that it has existed “since 2006” (a couple of days later it’s „since 2005“) and that our “supporting association Friends of the Great Pyramid e.V. (…) is now defunct” while an anonymous “core part of the original team” – obviously just him – ”carries on with the project”. Thiel is far from following his own “indispensable” guideline: “Be true!”I and the Friends of the Great Pyramid claim no copyright on the idea of the Great Pyramid. If Thiel or anyone else should be successful in making it happen, we would only be happy. But stealing content from our website and telling lies about our association is another matter. Until now, more than 1500 people have made an unbinding reservation for a Pyramid stone and we have the utmost respect for their trust. We are currently developing different strategies to make the Great Pyramid actually happen. We are far from defunct.
