The structure of the monument will consist of two geometrical bodies superposed:

The bottom of the construction, the PEDESTAL will have the form of a polyhedron with the bases - regular rectangles of 10 equal sides, convex decagons.
On top of the pedestal, there will be raised a pyramid symbolizing "the pyramid of the human knowledge", inside of which it will be a cross, the symbol of the fact that at the basis of the civilized existence of the mankind, it was, it is and it will be the religion. (Sketch No. 1)

The pedestal will have thick walls, both outside and inside, of reinforced concrete and will be partly buried, partly overground. The cost of the whole operation, beeing covered by sponsoring (national or international, including from Romanians abroad), the monument’s sizes will be projected and achieved according to the financial means at hand.

For the moment, the project was concieved as follows:

The pyramid, which will have a metallic structure, covered by glass and plexyglass, will have as base a square with a 7 m side and a height of 7 m, also. The cross, metallic too, will be placed in the centre and will have the arms at 3 meters from the peak and, respectively, at 4 meters from the base.

Each of the 10 equal sides will be of approximately 5 meters and the pedestal will have a height (overground) of about 3 meters, resulting so 10 exhibition’s panels of white marble and bronze.

The main panel, through which, the visitors will be admited, Romania’s panel, is going to display, beside the map of the country, general geographical, historical, religious, cultural and sportive data, from the past and of the present, as well as the personalities who marked our history throughout the first two milleniums.

The other 9 panels will be dedicated, with the same aim in view, to the 9 historical provinces of our country: Walahia, Moldavia, Transylvania, Banat, Chrishana, Maramuresh, Oltenia, Bucovina and Dobrodja. (Sketch No. 2).

The internal part of the pedestal will be made up of 3 storerooms and a visiting hall. In the storerooms, in tight cylinders of stainless steelwell, will be placed "our collective memory":

The "L" chamber (from the Roman figure for 50), or the "Red Room", situated on the left of the entrance, will be opened after 50 years, on the 1-st of December 2050, or the 1-th of January 2053 (so, some of our contemporaries will be witness of this interesting event).
The "C" chamber (from the Roman figure for 100) or the "YELLOW ROOM" placed in the centre, before the entrance, will be opened after 100 years, on the 1-st of December 2100 or the 1-st of January 2103, and
the "M" Chamber (from the roman figure for 1000) or the "BLUE ROOM", after 1000 years, on the 1-st of December 3000 or 1-st of January 3003 (Sketch No. 3).

The halls of the visiting hall will be plated, also, with black marble and bronze plates, on which there will be exhibit data about the projecting, the contents and the achievement of the monument, as well as the lists of the sponsors and depositors.
