So it incentivizes you to build structures.
The biggest... I think... Is this the newest one that they just discovered?
And they say it's like the biggest...
The largest amount of rock.
And this pyramidal platform is with rock that they placed there, or it's existing bedrock that they brought in?
I don't know if this is the same thing, but I've seen a few different pyramids in Mexico.
When I went to the ones near Mexico City, what is that site called?
The big one is Teotihuacan.
Teotihuacan.
Which is the one where you can go for the solstice and it looks like the fire is coming out of the serpent's mouth at the bottom?
Oh, Chichen Itza.
Chichen Itza.
Okay, so I saw both of
those teotihuacan is the bigger one where it's not just one pyramid there's a huge one but there's all these other little pyramids it's a whole city that's right and the pyramids look functional whereas like when you go to egypt the pyramids they kind of look like something to marvel at but you don't even know what the utility is exactly this felt like hey shit goes down here we got some shops they're living on it they're using it yeah we're playing ball over here like it actually felt like a proper city it's public architecture

Yes.
And what was interesting, and this is kind of, I imagine what you're speaking to, I'm not exactly sure, but they had showed like images of what it looked like before.
And they just looked like hills because the ground had kind of like consumed it and grown up over it.
And it really kind of makes you look at every hill in Mesoamerica, and you're like, what the fuck is underneath that shit?
Like, how much of the things that we're seeing as different types of elevation are actually maybe some small pyramids, maybe a big thing?
