There seems to be a pattern of building the pyramids larger on top of the tombs of earlier rulers. One of the earliest kings was a White guy who introduced large scale zeolite water filtering of lakes and fertilizing of fields with volcanic ash that allowed the settlements to expand to over a million people. As time went on this technology was abandoned in favor of trade for fish and organic fertilization, the settlements then moved closer to the coast and built newer pyramid structures there.
This has been going on since the dawn of civilization.
Basically each generation/civilization built ontop of the previous structures. Many roman churches and government buildings were built on top of pagan sites of importance for example.
I guess even the great pyramid was built ontop of some kind of old structure which was built ontop of a natural spring or something. Interesting for sure.
I guess mexico city right now is facing a once in a generation drought.
When they showed up in what the 14,1500's? The indians had a city where mexico city is at, but it was built with a bunch of canals and reservoirs. The spanish demolished this when they needed to expand their city.
They proably thought the indians were retarded and built it for "looks" but they likely built it for the once in a generation droughts like these.
And since they built the entire city on a what is now a empty lake, the city is sinking something like 20 inches per year, yikes.
I don't know.. I was looking into this and it seems like it's build on top of like couple previous pyramids. Haven't started looking into this. Like any videos of them going in there.
