What are the similarities of Mayan and Egyptian pyramids?
The pyramids of Central America and Egypt are from different eras, and have different styles. Most experts believe that pyramid building is something that ancient cultures chose to do (also in China and South America), without having any contact with each other. Pretty much the only evidence of a connection is that the base of the Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico, and the base of the Great Pyramid of Egypt, have the same dimensions, with the Mexican pyramid being precisely half the height of the Egyptian one. Both encode Pi.
