Tama-Re, Religious compound near Eatonton, Georgia, United States.
Tama-Re was a 476-acre property in Putnam County featuring two 40-foot pyramids, a sphinx, and multiple Egyptian-styled structures made from plywood and stucco. The site functioned as a religious community center where various festivals and gatherings took place throughout the year.
A religious group established Tama-Re in 1993 after relocating from Brooklyn to Georgia to create a new community center. The site developed over roughly a decade before federal authorities intervened in 2002.
Members of the Nuwaubian Nation incorporated Egyptian architectural elements and religious symbols into their community structures and daily practices.
The location sits on private land in a rural setting with limited public access. Visitors should inquire beforehand about current conditions and whether tours or viewing is available.
After York's imprisonment in 2004, the Egyptian-themed structures were demolished in 2005, and the land transformed into a hunting lodge.
