Tallest Buildings

Like I said, I made a long story short, thus I only presented those "world's tallest building" record holders that made a significant 'leap' in height beyond a previous record holder. There is a distinct pattern of heights going from 500' to 1000' to 1500', and I (again) wonder if 2000' will ever be achieved.
the world's tallest building record holders in order are:
the Great Pyramid at Giza
the tower of Beauvais Catherdral (collapsed)
the Great Pyramid at Giza (again) or
possibly the second Pyramid at Giza
the Washington Monument
the Eiffel Tower
the Chrysler Building
the Empire State Building
the World Trade Center Towers (collapsed)
the Sears Tower
the Petronis Towers
