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.

Good one.
Great album. Thanks for the reminder.
Earthquake, ground shifting, temperature cycling, heavy rainfall could also impact....
Instead they collapsed, just like this pyramid.
Sears would still be around if they’d transitioned their catalogue business into online.
But they were old school buggy whip people and had not the foresight.
