When some bands reform after a hiatus (or in this case, a 23-year moratorium to avoid talking about burning a million quid or why they deleted their entire back catalogue) they might record a new album and go on a world tour. But not&nbsp;The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu&nbsp;aka&nbsp;The Timelords&nbsp;aka&nbsp;The KLF&nbsp;aka&nbsp;The K Foundation&nbsp;aka&nbsp;K2 Plant Hire Ltd.

Instead, when&nbsp;Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty&nbsp;(aka King Boy D and Rockman Rock aka The Kingfisher and The Standing Stone) reformed in 2017, they published a novel&nbsp;(2023: A Trilogy)&nbsp;and held a 3-day event in Liverpool called&nbsp;Welcome to the Dark Ages. During these 3 days 400 ticket holders became both the audience and the players in a series of happenings and events that culminated in the announcement that K2 Plant Hire Ltd were building&nbsp;The Peoples Pyramid.

The Peoples Pyramid&nbsp;will be a 23-foot-high solid brick monument made with ‘Bricks of Mu’, each brick containing the ashes of a dead person fired into it, in a process called MuMufication. Every year, on the 23rd&nbsp;of November, 400 people gather to lay new bricks and build the pyramid in a ceremonial event of mourning and celebration known as&nbsp;The Peoples Day of Death.

This book tells the story of the first 6 years of this most unlikely multi-generational project: via the artworks, ephemera, and photographs from the annual ceremonies forming as people come together to build&nbsp;The Peoples Pyramid.

Meanwhile, The KLF&nbsp;have&nbsp;announced they will go on a world tour, but not until the year 2323. And they’ve made some black and white pills that are infused with the ashes of the million quid they burned. All to raise money to ensure&nbsp;THE PEOPLES PYRAMID WILL BE BUILT.
