O.P. RE: german trivia thingy
need to find another meaning to the thingy

btw, i looked at this and none of it helped:
quote:
If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid. Left Seal

    * Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the West or decided what we could do for Western Civilization.
    * The Pyramid is un-capped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished. Inside the capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything. "In God We Trust" is on this currency, but that phrase was added in the 1950s during the Red Scare. Prior to that, none of our paper currency had that phrase.
    * The Latin above the pyramid, Annuit Coeptis, means, "God has favored our undertaking."
    * The Latin below the pyramid, Novus Ordo Seclorum, means, "a new order has begun."
    * At the base of the pyramid is the Roman Numeral for 1776.

quote:
The number thirteen, symbolizing the 13 original colonies, shows up numerous times:

13 stars above the eagle
13 steps on the Pyramid
13 letters in ANNUIT COEPTIS
13 letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM
13 vertical bars on the shield
13 horizontal stripes at the top of the shield
13 leaves on the olive branch
13 fruits
13 arrows

13 steps on the pyramid?

quote:
The eye above the pyramid is similar to the symbol of the Free Masons
