Title: Why are these pyramids so similar?
Post by: McGaskil on 25 June, 2023, 11:58:42 AM
A pyramid in Cambodia is very similar to one in Yucatan even though they're many thousands of miles apart, so how can this be?

One in Yucatan about 700AD

One in Cambodia circa 900AD

Yes, very odd!  Personally I don't know what the answer is, but certainly very interesting.

Similar, but the one in Yucatan seems a bit bigger and predates the one in Cambodia by 200 years.  Still bit of a mystery though. :o

Wow!  They really do look alike!  Even the sites they're on look similar! :o

Yes fairly similar, although the one in Yucatan is less barren and rock strewn.
