I Definitly need to see Sigiriya. It's in my plans for sure. It's cool that you can climb up to the top.
👍🍻
Sadly, we have heard all of this before. It seems we have learned as much as we are going to find out.

Remember don’t touch the weeds!
So did the ancient Afghans.
I've been to many of these ruins add pyramids if you will. I used to take school buses by them in America and with my buddy drive them all the way across Mexico to the Yucatan where he had a trailer on the Beach and sell the buses for 5 times what we paid. On the way all the way across Mexico we enjoyed ourselves at stopping at these ruins plus buying all kinds of neat stuff from the little bitty tiny people who could do such beautiful crafts with their hands. We're all made in the image of God who was a Creator therefore man can create, and do quite a good job. But when they got into idol worship and sacrifices that did not do too well for them. The Spanish rightfully wiped out the savages because it's wrong to cut a man's heart out and eat it. Come on man these people with demon possessed at the end, you don't want that in any civilization
Am i wrong or did that culture sometimes use human heads for their ball games?🫣🫣

Right, they did and made blood sacrifices also… so not the same people whom built these pyramids. They were already there so the Mayans chose to settle there.

@@craigmiller4528probably some American dude that can't accept the legacy of the Mayans and don't want to acknowledge what the Mexicans built and take it away from their ancestors just because his ancestors was emigrants from outcast Europe. 😅

The Mayans say it themselves… they didn’t build any of this. This was there so they chose to settle there. Just as the Egyptians we know about with the pyramids of Giza.

Well,people don't understand the 12,000 year cataclymic schedule when the sun destroys almost the entire civilizations. Those left,when their numbers become large enough,find the buildings that it existed before the cataclysm and inhabit them. Why do you think humankind has amnesia about the past. The sphynx has been through at least 2 cataclysms. The middle east is the pivot point every 12,000 years. It is expected again in 10-20 years. Why do you think the elite are building bunkers and storing food? They think they will survive.
