Repeat this for each corner to create a 2x2 box 1 unit high. The gods will be pleased. Make a valley fold from the corner of the creases from the previous step to the bottom one unit over toward the corner. Repat this on each side of all four corners and use this to fold in the corners.

Fold over the last crease to form a clean base. This will form a new crease in the pleated corners. Likewise fold in all four edges. This also locks the pleats down to make a good, tight model. Question 1 year ago. Answer 1 year ago. Reply 9 years ago on Introduction. Introduction: Origami Mesoamerican Pyramid. As Jack E. Maxfield states in his writings: The first stone constructed sepulchre of pyramidal design was built at Saqqara, near Memphis, during the reign of Zoser also Djoser , an early king of the 3rd dynasty, between 2, and 2, B.

Since the following facts are not of common knowledge and to provide credible information on the dates, I shall refer to respected scholars in the field of history. Taking into account what I have just claimed and what ancient astronaut theorists and diffusionist idea propagators claim, does it make sense to argue that Egyptian and Mesoamerican, particularly Mayan, civilizations shared any common origins, or were influenced by the same cultural phenomena when the apogees of their architectural excellence are divided by a time period of roughly 2, years and a distance of 12, kilometers?

I highly doubt one could accept this on any logical grounds. This assertion, as well as the date of construction, public vs. It is a matter of fact that almost all of the pyramids built all over the globe were constructed with religious importance.

For example, Emerald Mount in Mississippi State served as a ceremonial site, Sun Temple of Konark was used as a worshipping place, even the Pyramid of Cestius, located in Rome, was built as tomb of a wealthy magistrate, Caius Cestius. As it is mentioned in several sources I have had access to, the most broad use of Mayan pyramids is that they served as religious temples, yet, sometimes contained the body of the God- king somewhere deep inside the monument.

These religious practices were all held at the flat tops of the pyramids. Unlike those of Egypt, almost all Mesoamerican pyramids served as temples.

According to Mayan religion, the soul of the dead person leaves the body and travels through water and then goes to either underworld or heaven. As some experts in the field revealed, it is the case that under most of the pyramid- tombs there are water resources that have direct passage to the open ocean. The pyramids were actually just large Funerary Complexes constructed for the rulers, or Pharaohs. Simple evidence is that Egyptian pyramids do not have official entrances.

If one approaches this notion with mere logic, it should be pretty understandable that a place without an entrance is not meant to be entered. Everlasting feature of this unusual tomb is one of the reasons why Egyptians spent decades, thousands of slaves and builders, most enduring materials, and building technology at its apex to construct the only Wonder of the World still standing. They used to build relatively small and simple temples just near the pyramids and used these buildings as a place for worship.

Along with their beliefs in gods, Egyptian religion was based firmly on the idea of an afterlife. They believed that if a person lived a good life on Earth, they would be rewarded with an eternal afterlife. Not surprisingly, they linked those strong religious beliefs into the architecture that they built. These people believed in afterlife, for instance, which was actually one of the factors that led them to erect their pyramids at the first place.
