Pyramids aren't just in Egypt!
We found this impressive archeological site right here in Central Mexico, amidst the outskirts of Querétaro. It dates way back to around 700-900 AD and was used as a place of worship among mesoamerican civilizations spanning an entire millennium.

Horseless, just as this hemisphere should be
