Louvre Pyramid declares that "the pyramid is dedicated to a power described as the Beast in the Book of Revelation (...) The entire structure is based on the number 6." The story of the 666 panes originated in the 1980s, when the official brochure published during construction did indeed cite this number (even twice, though a few pages earlier the total number of panes was given as 672 instead). The number 666 was also mentioned in various newspapers. The Louvre museum, however, states that the finished pyramid contains 673 glass panes (603 rhombi and 70 triangles). A higher figure was obtained by
Paris in the 18th century hall within the Tuileries Palace. The Committee of Public Safety, charged with hunting down the enemies of the Revolution, established its headquarters close by in the "Pavillon de Flore" of the Louvre, while the Tribunal, the revolutionary court, set up its courtroom within the old Royal Palace on the "Île-de-la-Cité", inside what is now the "Palais de Justice". The Commune, the government of Paris, also held elections, but these were won by the more moderate members, known as the "Girondins", rather than the more radical faction, the "Montagnards", largely because the election, unlike the Convention vote, was by secret ballot.
