Abstract
For some symmetric pyramids of , we find Galois obstruction for their Dehn invariant to be zero, i.e. for the pyramids to be scissor equivalent to a cube. These conditions are that some associated Kummer extensions of number fields must be abelian. This work can be viewed as a complement to [5]. Indeed, in [5], a classification of all rational tetrahedra is given, while we concentrate our attention on much more symmetric pyramids and prove that the only ones which are scissor equivalent to a cube are the rational ones.
