Forgotten Future - A Scheme for a Great National Monument

[ffutures]

Another article I forgot to link to when I uploaded it several years ago - a scheme to build a huge pyramid, monument and tomb in London, from the Strand Magazine April 1903

If I'd ever completed Forgotten Futures 12 one of the adventures would have started with the reconstruction of this monument after an interstellar war, and an eventual interplanetary hunt for Mad Empress Margaret, the theoretically dead empress of the Anglo-Saxon Empire who built the thing and was responsible for several projects that were somewhat dubious, such as changing the tilt of the Earth's axis to give Britain a better climate.

Slightly amused that he starts out by saying that the lasting monuments are the ones which don't have a roof, then goes on to recommend one that does!
