Probably the most northern is going to be about right here at a place called Teotihuacan.
I went there.
Yeah, so you've been there.
Okay, yeah.
So that's probably your first notable... There may be some pyramids north of that, but that's like your first... That's your northernmost stone pyramid.
But that said...
You know, about right here in Ohio, if I'm pointing out Ohio, nobody really knows where Ohio is.
Yeah, but you've got like the Adena mounds and stuff that come from 500 BC, but they're all made out of earth, right?
And so, yeah, so much here you have earth and timber, not as much bedrock.
So you don't have as much stone to work with.
And that's true.
And like in the Appalachian Mountains, man, you've got so much granite and limestone that's poking out, but they're not using it.
Not most of the time.
There actually is somewhere in the Mississippian world, there is one stone pyramid that I've seen.
It might be in Ohio itself.
Here in the Southwest, you have lots of stone and they're building like pueblos and, you know, the huge cities and stuff like that.
Cliff dwellings, you know, so they're making stuff out of stone, but not pyramids.
But in California, you had the highest, California, Oregon, Washington, you had some of the highest densities of Native Americans in North America, and they didn't build anything like that.
Why?
I have no idea.
