Well, and I was just saying, you know, ants work in much of the way that maybe the Maya people do or did. You know, they work in unison. They bring resources back and forth. And what do they build? They build pyramids. You know, it's in them to do that. They're going to do it naturally. And it makes sense in their little tiny brain.

and so you know it could be that that human beings we are wired that way if that makes sense like ants build ant mounds they build their own little pyramids all over the world well human beings are going to do that too because maybe it makes sense to to build a structure that way it turns out looking like a mound because um without mortar or rebar they can't build it up high without it splaying out unless it has a fat base going to a tiny top that's

That's the most boring explanation of why pyramids are all over the world. Any kid, you know, your kids, if they have blocks, you know, they can build a tower a couple of times and the other one pushes it over. But if you build something with a fat base going up to a tiny top, that's a stable building and you can build the tallest thing you can build before the advent of cement and rebar.

Another thing I would add, and this is just me being facetious or devil's advocate, but that conversation of pyramids being built all over the world kind of runs hand in hand with why the Egyptians are building the pyramids. And then you can leap to, why do you see pyramids all over the world?

Well, the thing is, a lot of these pyramids, especially the ones, let's say where a lot of them is in the Mesoamerican world, a great majority of those pyramids are actually tombs. They're places that people might live during their day, and then they're entombed inside of it. And there's thousands of people buried in pyramids all over.

The vast majority of pyramids around the world, there are people buried in them. So it's just a funny thing. If we're going to look to the other side of the world for an answer, Pakal's tomb is a great answer. I mean, that's a pyramid that was only built to be a tomb for him.
