Many Of The Rich And Famous,

have mausoleums or family burial plots,


but this pyramid shaped one that appeared in the thickly populated St. Louis Cemetery in New Orleans stands out from many others, the cemetery is over two hundred years old and holds the remains of some of the city’s most famous personalities,


 including the voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, so here is the question, who owns it? the still living male actor was 50 years old in 2010 when he bought the nine-foot-tall stone pyramid, it bears no inscription but the Latin motto 'Omnia Ab Uno', which translates as 'Everything From One', a motto popularised by the Rosicrucians, it occupies an an area that would normally be dedicated to having four burial plots on it, public opinion is divided over the pyramid, purists hate it, tour guides ridicule the owner and New Orleans locals are furious that he was even able to obtain a plot the size of four ordinary burial plots in the cramped graveyard, female fans on the other hand, love it, leaving lipstick prints on the actors future tomb, any clue as to who owns it? the plot belongs to Nicholas Cage, I guess you would call this forward planning.
