And indeed, the Palace of Peace and Accord is a delightful building that not only amazes with originality and grandeur, but it also has great significance for the Kazakh people, symbolizing friendship, unity and peace. All its kind of pyramid symbolizes three basic concepts of many religions: a dungeon in dark colors; the middle part in white colors symbolizes the world; the sky is the glass top of the pyramid

In addition, the pyramid is also correct, built in accordance with the principle of the "Golden Fibonacci Section": the length of the side of the square lying in the base is equal to the height of the pyramid.
