Back in the day, the KEEP L.A. SHORT crowd really wanted to make sure that no building in SoCal was as tall as the tallest Egyptian_pyramid. Thus, the Giza_pyramid_complex was taller than anything in LA until the late 1960s. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza "Initially standing at 146.6 meters (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the world's tallest human-made structure for more than 3,800 years."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_City_Hall#History "It has 32 floors and, at 454 feet (138 m) high..."  https://calisphere.org/item/cf1903e53170db536690f3f8690925a0  Just a little pyramid on top of a building that is shorter than the tallest pyramid in Egypt.

Of course LA would eventually allow some buildings to be twice as tall as the tallest Egyptian pyramid.
