You mean building regulations were ignored when they built the pyramids?



I think there regulations were differenet. As I understand it, throwing
people down the steps after cutting their throats or something was part
of the design spec.

Remember, Chichen Itza is in the middle of what amounts to a cocaine
jungle.


Horrors!



Indeed. Meso american culture is noted for its barbarity.
