When I was in elementary school there was a whole pyramid power fad going on. Pyramids could focus energy to preserve mummies and food.
We did an experiment where we left one bowl of milk in the open, and another inside a wire frame pyramid. Both spoiled. I think the lesson here is that it is the synergy between crystals AND a solid form of pyramids that best focuses the chi. Next class...mood rings and pet rocks! |

-San Gervasio -Coba -Tulum -Chichen Itza -Ek Balam (?) someday, when / if all this stupid bs in the ME dies down, Egypt is high on my bucket list. |

I love to bust his balls about his sweet “Bass Pro tattoo.” View Quote Stupidest money dump our city leaders ever thought of (except for hiring me I guess). |

Interesting that none of those pyramids are more than 6,000 years old.

Closest for me were injun mounds here in the States. I would love see the Giza ones, but that involves travel expense to a shithole.

The pyramid they built for the Resurrection of Elvis. And then once back to life he took off to be a tow truck driver instead of taking Memphis back to its glory days when scads of tourists came to see him. |

Climbed the Aztec Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico and the Mayan ones in Copan, Honduras.

Since people have been studying them for hundreds of years you'd think they'd have proven it by now, but they haven't. Wonder why...

Flew over them on the way to Saudi Arabia.
They were smaller than I thought they would be... |

Quoted: The Solar Boat found alongside the pyramid. There are tons and tons and tons of artifacts. I literally cannot get my head around someone saying there are no artifacts from the building of the pyramids. I'd laugh but it's too sad.. View Quote Most people expect Tutankhamun-tier treasures from the pyramids and it probably did a long time ago but they're long gone now. We're lucky Tut's tomb was spared the looting, considering how he was a pretty irrelevant pharaoh that died early with a rushed burial. |

Quoted: In 1994 or so I had a business trip to San Salvador in El Salvador. I got to see two sites with pyramids. They were very small ones only 5 meters tall of so. One was in a city that had been buried by ash from a nearby volcano just like Pompeii in Italy. Whole houses preserved but at that time no bodies had been found. The doors to the houses were very small. I doubt if they were 4 feet tall. Turns out the people who lived there were quite short. Kind of strange standing in a ball court and knowing the fate of the players on the losing team. View Quote When we went to chicken pizza, the tour guide said it was the winners who got sacrificed. Their god demanded the best, not the second best. |

Climbed one outside of Mexico City in 1985. Think it was the Pyramid of the Sun. It was a long way up and I remember the steps seemed like a weird size
