A metal time capsule containing information about the relocation was buried under the Pyramid's new foundation. Despite the success of the move, the project to surround the Pyramid with a larger monument never materialized. Many remained hopeful that the Pyramid would be restored to its historical origins, including the return of the steps and railing, and the removal of the "shell of stucco and inappropriate figures".

Felipe Pereyra de Lucena was born in 1789 and served as a cadet during the British invasions of the Río de la Plata.
