Talk:The Pillars

Okay, so for Pillar size: the Washington Monument is 555 feet tall and 55 feet across at the base for comparison. It's pretty tall, no doubt, but well within human standards. In fantasy land, kinda small I'd say, especially if we're going for awe-inspiring.
the Burj Khalifa is the tallest man-made thing on Earth, at 2,722 feet and I don't know how big across. At Washington Monument proportions it'd be ~270 feet wide.
I'd say this is more what we're going for - Each pillar is 2,500 feet tall, 250 feet wide at the base and, let's say, 150 feet at the top of the shaft before it forms into a pyramid. This would give us an obelisk structure that looks like the Washington monument but the size of the Burj Khalifa
