So there are step pyramids in North, Central and South America, Africa, and now Asia. (Also I'm sure in many other places.)

Is it because it's just natural to build in this manner when using stone?

BTW, there are more pyramids in Mexico that all the rest of the world combined.

Of course not, humans are too stupid to think of this design, it requires alien intelligence to impart the wisdom to us/ sarc

I believe that without the arch, using only stone, the only method you can build vertically is a rising slope.

They’re based on the original design at Babel- which all cultures originally knew about. It was an archetype.
