Okay, so on the left, you have at least seven of those in the ground.
I've counted at least seven without being able to do any excavations, obviously.
Now, we know that there's seven sticking out.
There's one in the museum, and there's another one that was reused in a church somewhere.
Now, if you go to Chavis Tepe, there are what are called Susi temples.
There's one on the bottom, and there's one on the top.
But in between, there's nothing.
And the beauty of this model is that even though something is gone, we still can figure out what was there.
And it means that if we use the Valley Temple as an example, because they're directly linked, which has a giant T designed into the temple, it means that there was once a giant temple designed as a T here.
That these Ts were fractals inside that temple.
How did they stack and look?
This is the beauty of it.
Ryan, can you pull up the Sphinx Temple layout with the Valley Temple, that layout from above?
This is where it gets beautiful.
Notice that there's a horizontal way that the T can sit, so you'd have to reverse it the opposite way right now, okay?
Yes.
Now, pull up the Valley Temple on the left and zoom in for me on the T. It's so beautiful how all this aligns.
I love it.
Yep, just the T. You see that?
Now, there are six of those on each corner.
