Five Thousand Matches Lit In A Pyramid, You Would Not Expect How Fast It Burned

Playing with fire has always been considered the type of past-time that a disturbed child or future arsonist may ultimately have at a young age. However, as we grow older, individuals are allowed to make their own judgement calls. Thankfully, that means that creating an entire pyramid made solely out of ignitable matches and then burning it to the ground is a completely feasible way to spend one’s afternoon.

Within the incredible video, the man behind the camera quickly lights the entire homemade structure before standing back to enjoy the burning flames. The entire thing is destroyed far quicker than one may have thought possible, as the flames quickly spread across each match head with incredible speed.

Apparently, the pyramid was built using 5000 matches, which is impressive. It took them 10 hours to complete, but only 10 seconds to fully destroy. Each match was cut and glued into the pyramid, which was then lit from one single corner.
