This summer, high temperatures and a drought created conditions that led to the collapse.
Heavy rain caused a part of a pyramid built more than 1,000 years ago to collapse in late July, according to Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History.
Located in the state of Michoacan in southern Mexico, the pyramid was part of a seat of power in a site known as Ihuatzio, the institute said.
This summer, high temperatures and a drought created conditions that led to the collapse, as they caused cracks to form in the pyramid. When the rain fell, water flowed into the cracks and compromised the pyramid’s structural integrity.

A lot of constructions that have seen a thousand seasons might not be long for collapse. In order for a pyramid to collapse something somewhere would have to erode a hell of a lot.
If Sears had put the catalog online, they could have been bigger than Amazon by now…
Doh!
Management vetoed an online Sears catalog.
They simply couldn’t conceive of a computer being anything but a command line interface, and given that mindset, they couldn’t imagine a computer would show a Sears product as anything but a line or two of text in a sea of lines of text.
They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.
Back in my day, when we built a pyramid that sucker lasted for centuries.
It’s going to be hard to find any aliens to rebuild it. All the Mexican aliens have moved to the U.S.
lousey design
Maybe they should turn in back into a mound of dirt with trees growing all over it, just like it was before all the grave robbers with degrees showed up and uncovered(exposed)it for all to see including the elements.
That’s what happens when they hire DEI folks- had they hired professionals, the building woulda lasted at least 2000 years!
I guess the folks that built it didn’t bother to look at the long range weather forecast did they?
Caterpillar has a machine that will fix that.
Always amazes me how Sears fumbled that mail-order business.
*ouch*

Low bid contractor.
That pyramid was a former AMWAY product???
YOU made me chuckle.
Roman-built aquaducts are still standing. Some may still be in use...!
I tried calling them about it, but someone answered, “no here Kruger”.
“The Egyptians did it better.”
To be fair to the Aztecs, not much water erosion in the desert.
Thanks for that info.
