Pyramids seem to have been raised in a variety of styles but they are of similar ilk. It may not be obvious to the casual observer just how similar pyramids are across the world. After all, Egyptian pyramids seem more pointed and polished, but a few can be seen without the facade. Underneath, they are more clearly step mounds. From the great pyramids of Egypt to the temples on the Yucatan Peninsula to mounds in the US, these constructions seem to be working from a single concept source. If no other significance may be drawn from the similarities, surely we can see a common bond among the makers, across the globe, at some point in our past. Why we try to deny their connection is beyond my understanding.
I currently believe that even if none are original Atlantean constructions, they at least come from vague memory of power associated with that structural shape. I believe that the energy power stations, possibly civic power centers as well, were pyramidal structures in our pre-history, and most of what we see today are echoes.
Immediately following the disaster, as the survivors tried to understand what happened, they may have salvaged some of their selective impressions or even masonry skills. I believe they may have recalled the pyramid structures and knew at least vaguely that they had something to do with the power. Thus when it was possible to do so, the survivors began building them again, as local materials and knowledge would allow. They were unaware of what was housed within the pyramids or what the former leadership knew about maintaining civil authority from them. They only knew about the structures and perhaps hoped that just building would help re-establish what was lost.
Imagine a child intently watching his mother prepare a bowl of soup for his lunch, then imagine the same child trying to do this for himself a few days later. He is as yet too young to know he should not attempt cooking, in fact he's too young to really know what cooking actually entails.
But, the boy gets into the cabinets, even if he has to use a chair to reach them. He collects together the main necessities he remembers. He puts the saucepan on the stove then wrestles with the can. Thankfully it's a tab-top, because he'd never figured out the can opener. He dumps the soup in the pan and stirs it with the big spoon he selected.
And... nothing happens. The soup looks ugly and doesn't taste right and isn't getting warm. The boy stirs the other way, maybe that's how his mother does it? He selects a different spoon, perhaps that's the secret. He brightens as he recalls that she sometimes wraps her fingers around the handle of the saucepan while stirring and so he tries this, but it doesn't seem to help.
Obviously the boy missed a crucial step, one which his mother never shows. It would be dangerous for him to learn to manipulate the knobs on the stove and so she does that part as discreetly as possible. Besides, the boy is small enough that he'd have to stretch across the heating elements to get to the knobs and that could be disasterous.
Yet from the boy's perspective, his mother has some kind of magic touch. He may keep trying different combinations of her actions which he's seen many times, but never will his efforts produce hot soup. Well, at least not for several years until he has learned about heat and the stove and how they apply.
Consider what people knew about the pyramid power plants. They knew the structure was an indication of a source for the energy they once had available. But after the destruction, those power plants were gone. In later versions, the structures were assigned a different kind of power and the memory of the original purpose faded.
Do you think this looks like it may be in Egypt?
Think again. It's Tazumal in El Salvador.
