Here's a little interesting tidbt behind the origins of the pyramids:

The Pyramids.
Based on an Atlantean model?


Many experts on the Atlantis story believe the immense flowering of culture in ancient Egypt was itself inspired by the prototype of the Atlantean experience. According to the Greek philosopher Plato the fact we have any knowledge at all of the story is largely due to diligent records kept by Egyptian priests. Egypt was believed to be the repository of lost wisdom and knowledge from this incredible Atlantic Island - knowledge which theorists attribute to the awesome rise of Egyptian civilisation.

Inseparably woven.

The connection between Egypt and Atlantis has even led some to speculate that the pyramids themselves were built to the design of an Atlantean prototype. Others go still further and say that the Atlanteans themselves built the pyramids over 12000 years ago. While the evidence for this is not convincing the certain truth is that Atlantis and Egypt have become  inseparably woven into the fabric of a story that is difficult to ignore. But were the pyramids really inspired by an original Atlantean blueprint? One author who firmly believed they were was Lewis Spence. Below is an account of his views published in his book History of Atlantis.

Sacred hills.

The question of the presence of pyramids in Atlantis also arises. It seems unlikely that they were actually to be found there, but it is probable that the pyramid in Egypt and America is merely a reminiscence of the sacred hills of Atlantis. In early Egypt, Mexico and Peru certain hills were regarded as especially sacred., as the homes of powerful supernatural beings. In Mexico the mountain was regarded as the home of the Goddess of Fertility, and in some parts of the country it was faced with stone, like the Egyptian pyramid, although in the region inhabited by the Mound Builders of Mississippi it was constructed from earth alone.”

Mexican link.

“The link between the Mexican pyramid constructed from masonry and the simple earthen hill is provided by the eastern mound sacred to the goddess Coatlicue close to the Teocalli or pyramid of her son Uitzilopochtli at Mexico. Personages of importance were buried in these American pyramids just as they were in those of Egypt, which were also obviously developed from the idea of the sacred mountain. Indeed several of the Egyptian pyramids were called by such names as the “Mountain of Ra,” and similar titles.”

Missing link.

“Egyptian and American pyramids have thus a common evolutionary history. The idea must have sprung from a common centre. Both would appear to trace their descent from the sacred hills of Atlantis. Moreover pyramids were to be found in the Canaries and the Antilles, the insular links in the chain between Europe and America, of which Atlantis is the missing link.”
