Compare and contrast the pyramid and stone hedge?

Ancient Structures like Stonehenge, the Mesopotamian Ziggurats, or the Egyptian Pyramids each represented a significant idea to the particular cultures which produced them. Such structures are held to signify many things, including a cultures ingenuity, power, or even their mystical relationship to the unknown. What types of contemporary creations do you think carry similar significance for contemporary mankind? Are there any creations or developments of modern humanity, which parallel the meanings that these ancient structures had during the ancient period? Are the i-phone or the internet something of an equivalent the Egyptian pyramids? How or how not? Clearly define the significance that you find some ancient structure to have in its particular culture, and then comment on a possible modern equivalent
