Why is MDCCLXXVI
on the bottom of the pyramid?
The
letters are Roman numerals for 1776. M is 1,000, D is 500, CC is 200, L is 50,
XX is 20, VI is 6. Add the numerals on the pyramid together and you get the
year 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed, and when the Novus
Ordo Seclorum began.
