In Science magazine, (Vol 325, pages 22-23), I was amazed to read what is perhaps the most mundane description of a pyramid ever:
Soon after Qin took power, he began preparing for the afterlife. Construction of his mausoleum at Mount Li, 35 kilometers east of Xi’an, took 38 years. The mausoleum, once crowned with pavilions, was never a secret, and even today it is visible as a kilometer-long wooded mound that rises a gentle 75 meters above the surrounding land.

That the Chinese pyramids are in fact pyramids has been very under-investigated. Pyramids in Egypt and Americas have been argued to be a coincidence. How many more do we need before orthodox archaeologists consider that a common culture created them all?
Samoa, Indonesia, Central America, Egypt, China, Bosnia, Chile… can’t be a coincidence!
