Why did the Mexicans build pyramids?
Answer 1
The Mayans built the pyramids as temples to have religious ceremonies and perform astronomic and astrological calculations.
Answer 2
All pyramids, all towers, all ziggurats are for one purpose only- to know time and day and hour until the world ends and time begins again. The towers are fixed telescopes to a sphere of stars they failed to KNOW are precessing. And so they lose what they were aimed at, and they become fake worship, fake observations like easter bunnies for Venus or for Jesus, or Santa Claus to party with or without the kids. This is why the hour becomes a surprise, no one has seen all things are predictable with odds of probabilities or we would not have those who milk us with the game of insurance, and casinos. Without a tower, Shem the son of Noah became Melchizedek when his father the king of all righteousness died, and in 450 years of earthquakes which settled the crust of the disrupted continents form the Flood.. he then predicted two things the same day. That medically Abram could cure his foreskin clean by cutting it off and thus catch the last egg of Sarah, and that Sodom would explode by morning when the full moon set and the sun rose (1918bc July 18). Every hour is predictable, so much so, that when warned, it can also be changed so it doesn't happen, (see Jonah and the destruction that didn't happen because the people saw and changed it... listened to others, not to Jonah, so Jonah threw a fit because he had already suffered in a fish).
