and...

"...would like to point out that a lot of things from the Chinese pyramid site reminds me of the designs of Egyptian pyramids. I've gone into the burial chambers of some of the excavated tombs and found some interesting similariites. For example, the tombs have ramps that lead down to the burial chambers which are directly under the pyramids. Also, there are small tomb guardians at the entrances to these tombs, and one of them happened to be a sphinx... a body of a lion with the face of man, except it was an Asian face. Also, there were various animal sculptures and carvings, such that that of ostriches and lions, and even unicorns and pegasi. Of course this was around 600-700 ad, so having been in contact with earlier Egyptian dynasties in previous times probably isn't far out of the question.

"As for the tomb interiors, the ramp down has square niches along the site with clay figures and tools to be of use to the person in the afterlife. The first two rooms of the central chamber are filled with paintings of the people of that time and various daily activities. The main burial chamber is painted to look like a normal garden scene with the sarcophagus built to look exactly like a traditional chinese house. The ceiling is painted to look like a night sky, with stars, the moon, and even the milky way galaxy band."
