She was being guided along the way by a Cheshire cat who often appeared to be out of his mind sporting a big maniacal grin on his face. At least that’s the way Walt Disney depicted it.

Although the term can apply to various things, most people think of the pyramid monuments in Egypt: massive stone structures that were built to glorify the Pharaohs of the ancient world.
