Many of the most impressive Classic-period Maya pyramids were funerary temples to members of the royal dynasties. Sometimes they started off quite small and succeeding generarions erected ever larger temples overlaying the older ones, used for ancestor worship. The worshipped ancestor was interred deep within, sometimes with accampanying human sacrifices.
Many later (Postclassic Period) Maya pyramids were temples serving as platforms for the worship of gods. Usually the deity in question was the patron of a particular noble lineage, who maintained the temple.
But why pyramids? Why that shape?
I ask the question again. Why have there been no burial remains found in pyramids yet the rhetoric is as if there has been?
How does anyone know if they started off quite small and got bigger? Some of the pyramids in China are huge. Some are so old they have covered in vegetation and grassland trees.
And how is it known that some pyramids started off small and then larger ones were built over the top of them? When were those built? How is it known they were for ancestor worship? Where is the evidence of human sacrifice in the Egyptian pyramids, excluding the Maya, and how is it known that didn't' take place after the original purpose of the pyramids was long forgotten?
I'm not disputing what historians state directly, I'm just asking questions to which I've never found answers within those historians answers to such questions.
As for the Maya, how did they build those structures from stone quarried from countless miles away and built on mountains thousand of feet up and in the middle of nowhere. And why? And how did they transport stones up those mountains sometimes weighing hundreds of tons?
We cannot now do despite technology what was done thousand of years ago and done by people, so we are told, who were technologically backward with humans sacrifices etc.
It is obvious, the answers do not fit what we have been told. What the answer is, I don't know.
It's almost as it modern scientists and archaeologists have become what they portray Egyptian high priests as. All based around stupid religion and stupid ideas. Yet these backwards idolising idiots built structures that cannot be built now? So can modern day science and technology build a replica of the pyramids now? Nope.
Nothing has changed today. Science is now the the new god. How about the Church during the Middle Ages. When everyone was expected to believe without question. Just like in today's society. No question now is answered better than when a scientist says so. Don't question, science has answered and science is proof. Today's high priests are the scientists. Their bible is the BBC, the media, books, lectures and youtube. The preachers are the advertisers for them. Religion now is in a different form. The masses still accept blindly just as they did in the Middle Ages.
As for history, history is now only defined when an archaeologist says it is so. Whether it's true or not, that doesn't matter. An expert has given the answer. The masses accept that answer without question. Over the years, nothing has changed. To question, according to the main stream media, oh, you are a conspiracy theorist.
Yet science cannot explain even the simplest of human emotions, that of love for another.
