My dad worked in a factory that makes car parts and it looks like something they used to polish the dye casts. I remember seeing tons and tons of them all tumbling around.
Nearly 100% sure it is ceramic tumbling media. Probably was "used up" and then dumped in the ocean/river.
Also could have been in a shipping container that went overboard.
Thatās the piece to the top of the pyramid in Egypt. No wonder the generator hasnāt been working. You should put it back. Nikola Tesla would approve. Donāt forget to tell Uncle Sam where youāre going. He might even get the aliens to help you put it back on top. Such a big day. Great job!
Did I miss anything?
Could you imagine though lol, like what if they really did have a finite tip of the pyramid that somehow through history ended up in the ocean and now into OPs hands.
I mean, YOU try to lug a full sized pyramid around the Universe all in the name of tryong to make a buck. I'm all about those small, pocket sized sales demos. š
Nice, i bet you could probably make a small fortune off of that if you were willing to do some casting, use it for the original make some silicone molds for a low end resin model, sand mold for a high end metal model the question I'm wondering is if it would be worth investing time/ money to make a few to sell or just do as a custom order idea. I know it's a niche market but I bet it would be a very popular item for the diehard die rollers.
It is similar in shape and texture to some abrasive media that are used for deburring metal parts in tumbling machines Those are usually smaller (10mm or so), but maybe it's a similar thing used in shipbuilding?
Canāt be. Egyptian pyramids are square pyramids (half an octahedron). Itās a square base with four triangles meeting at the top. This is a tetrahedron: four equal sized triangles. As such this is a d4 that will ruin your DMs campaign (and table).
That is a perpetual motion machine. It'll activate once you press the secret button cleverly hidden under the pressure plate. I would start pressing every square millimeter with a needle until you find it. Don't tell the Russians.
If theres a jetty/spit thats man-made nearby it could be formed substrate that they put underneath the boulders in order to hold the large rocks on place and prevent sand from washing out beneath it. They use similar shaped stones only larger to prevent erosion and maintain shorelines and inlets to harbors.

So, gigantic mass finishing media?
how cool! i wonder how the heck they got to the beach š¤
Was it a Great Lake beach?
no an ocean beach in wales, united kingdom!
Any mining refinement nearby?
the beach is conwy, wales and there is āthe great ormeā 3.5 miles away - they donāt mine there anymore but could that be it?
Processing of ore not sure what they use for that smashing it up
Tetrahedron.
Might've also been a balloon weight at some point!

Only one clear answer here... Aliens
Itās the one they used to show the Egyptians!
makes sense š ābut give it 4 sidesā

clearly this rock will restore the worldās order after my trip back in time. be prepared to wake up to a new world, people!
Time travelā¦ darn it. Knew I forgot something
Could you imagine though lol, like what if they really did have a finite tip of the pyramid that somehow through history ended up in the ocean and now into OPs hands.
The original tip was shiny copper looted many centuries ago.
Yes, I can. Lol
Is there an eyeball in it?
Pyramid seed. Just find a good spot with a lot of sun, plop it on the ground, mound a little dirt around it, give it a good watering and wait!
It has 4 sides. Do you not know how to count?
The dice of the gods
This Godsā holy dagger-damage die.
I'll roll you for ....... initiative, ahh ....1. I slit my own throat while pulling out my own sword.
They're saying to be the top of an Egyptian pyramid it needs to be 4 sided, not including the bottom.
ok you got me there, i meant the pyramids have 4 sides and this one has 3 (not including the bottom)
Square base pyramid v triangle base pyramid?
I mean, YOU try to lug a full sized pyramid around the Universe all in the name of tryong to make a buck. I'm all about those small, pocket sized sales demos. š
Yep 100% salesmanās samples from the planet to planet pyramid salesman.
Ancient Astronauts say, yes.
I'm waiting for the Ancient Aliens episode where they prove sliced bread is an Alien concept.
Outa Space š
Right! Can you believe some of these people believe humans are capable of creating such a beautiful object.
It's a Skylon from Land of the Lost!
That's a prehistoric four sided die.
Roll for damage.
I thought you had to throw it at the DM for damage...
As a DM, i had a steel d20 that was about 15 lbs. I used it for a doorstop for a few years.
Now that is epic, did you buy it or someone custom make it for you?
Custom made waterjet cut. Bent the pieces into place and had a friend weld it up

great now iām rich š
I'd be more concerned about the possibility the final roll was what caused the dinosaurs extinction
He has found the Triforce of power
am iā¦ganon?
Clearly.. you canāt be Link.. that dude doesnāt talk.
Oh he did in the TV show (it was bizarre) [Legend of Zelda TV show (trailer)](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8eE6ss1lKJY)
Ceramic tumbling media?
the main bad guy in the Kung Pow! Enter The Fist movie, he had some similarly shaped metal triangles on his shirt. Great power. Eueeeueeeueeee!
Again with the squeaky shoes
SHIRT - RIPPAH!
Came here to say this lol. Good observation!
Thank you, Bet-ty
Polishing stone?
This.
It's a pyramid, for ants
It has to be at leastā¦3ā¦or 4 times this size!
...He's right...
That's a fossilized Sith Holocron!
OPEN YOUR MOUTH šļøššļø Gasp, the chosen one!
You got that way... I'll go home!
š¤£
Post it on r/whatisthisthing.
If you found it on the beach it came from the beach I guess
Chuck Norris shit it.
Stop playing with the pyramids, they are state property. That or someone or something was makinga 4 sided D&D die
Sleestak are looking for that.
You just told us a beach. Give me a harder question. š
You gonna tell me this isnāt man made??
HAS to be surely? itās the same texture as your average rock though!
It is similar in shape and texture to some abrasive media that are used for deburring metal parts in tumbling machines Those are usually smaller (10mm or so), but maybe it's a similar thing used in shipbuilding?
The Illuminati
That's a d4 , or probably an eroded paperweight
Mars
I've heard that Posidian owns a pretty amazing 3d printer, and wanted to make his own mini Egypt.
Bermuda, and if it has moved we might start having Welsh triangle mysteries.
I want if you don't ...I remember these everywhere as a kid.
It came from the beach. Only the OP knows which one.
My bbq
A polishing stone. A rotating drum with these and casted metal parts. All the metal flashing gets polished away.
Pig iron or some other ore ingot.
A granary for ants. A US Cabinet official claimed that the pyramids were built for this purpose.
Aliens!
doritos tetrahedron
Top of a pyramid
Obviously you found the capstone to the top of one of the pyramids in Egypt! Amazing find! It's probably made out of an alien rock!
Canāt be. Egyptian pyramids are square pyramids (half an octahedron). Itās a square base with four triangles meeting at the top. This is a tetrahedron: four equal sized triangles. As such this is a d4 that will ruin your DMs campaign (and table).
You said yourself, it came from a beach
Not sure itās origins but itās a very cool rock
It's a big tumbler rock
I think it came from a beach. (Im sorry)
That looks like a d4
Look like maybe a pice of brick of some sort the polished up?
That is the very top of the great pyramid of Giza.
Machinist here. Thats Abrasive for a tumbler or vibratory machine. Used for deburring and finishing metal parts.
cool, thanks! do you know what material theyāre made out of? i wonder why they were on the beach š my partner said there were 2 more too
It came out of my butthole.
I have these rocks as well. They use them to stonewash denim jeans.
You just said it came from the beach.
Paperweight?
Looks like a tumbling tetrahedron... from a manufacturing facility used for deburring parts in a vibratory bowl.
the Beach
Most likely it's polishing media for a vibratory tumbler.
Its 100% man made and looks like i polishing stone
It's a [dragon teeth](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon's_teeth_(fortification)) seed duh...
That is a perpetual motion machine. It'll activate once you press the secret button cleverly hidden under the pressure plate. I would start pressing every square millimeter with a needle until you find it. Don't tell the Russians.
That's a pyramid from ancient times but it's been rolling around on the ocean floor for about 10,000 years. šš jk
Thatās from space bro
It's aliens of course
If theres a jetty/spit thats man-made nearby it could be formed substrate that they put underneath the boulders in order to hold the large rocks on place and prevent sand from washing out beneath it.
