"Any gods who shall cause this pyramid and this construction of the King to be good and sturdy, it is they who will be vital, it is they who will be reprected, it is they who will be impressive, it is they who will be in control...it is they who will take possession of the crown." -Pyramid Texts 1650 (Lehner) That statement dealt with how the Egyptians felt about their pyramids. Their pyramids were tributes to the gods, parts of great temples. The Mayans had similar beliefs about their pyramids. The pyramids were the temples. Even though there is very little in common between the two cultures, with no contact that we know of, they both created great pyramids. This site shall examine some of these pyramids.
