Pyramid Temple

The "Pyramid Temple" is a building the Crystal Gems visited in "Serious Steven".

Description
The Pyramid Temple is an old structure situated point-side down in the Gem Battlefield. The entrance is a door-like object with a hole which needs a small pyramid to be inserted in order for the entrance to shapeshift into an open set of stairs leading to a large room.

The large room has a pedestal with a small floating pyramid. On the ceiling are carved images of Gem battles and murals on the walls appear to depict the booby-trapped corridors within the pyramid. Turning the pyramid on the pedestal so that it points upwards will reverse gravity and cause visitors to fall through an open hole in the ceiling, which leads to the central chamber before the hole closes.

The central chamber contains entrances to booby-trapped corridors. The rooms spin within the pyramid; temple visitors are always returned to their initial position in the central chamber regardless of what corridors and rooms they enter.

The temple is powered by a Corrupted Gem located in the Obelisk beneath the central chamber.

"Serious Steven"
The Gems travel to the temple to retrieve a corrupted gemstone. Garnet unlocks the entrance with a small pyramid that she summons and slots into the Temple. When Steven figures out that the rooms spin them around to end up in the same room, Garnet smashes the floor, revealing the gem which is powering the spinning mechanism. Garnet throws Steven to retrieve the gemstone and as he does one side of the obelisk the gem is centered on turns and seems to be smiling when Steven takes out the gemstone.

After the gemstone is removed the spinning pyramids stop moving and degenerate with a yellow glow that flows into the gemstone. The temple fires a yellow beam into the sky before it explodes. All of the Gems are unhurt by the explosion and Pearl bubbles the gemstone, completing their mission.

Mural
Within the temple are five (three visible) sections of a mural. The middle section depicts Rose Quartz and her troops battling an unknown blue-tinted Gem.

The other two visible sections display other unknown Gems. the one on the right resembles the SDCC 2015 depiction of Yellow Diamond. The mural most likely depicts the war that occurred on Earth when Rose Quartz rebelled against the Homeworld's destruction of the planet. Underneath Rose Quartz are small figures in different trials. After each trial, none survive. These are the same trials Steven and the Crystal Gems encounter.

Trivia

 * The design of this temple is reminiscent of ancient South American pyramids and the art on/in them.
 * The gemstone that powered the temple is the first known corrupted Gem to not take on a monstrous form.
