However, these pyramids share at least one similarity with those found in Africa, they both are sites heavily connected to the worship of false deities. The larger one was dedicated to the worship of the sun. A clear sign that this flawed belief is still widely held was the group positioned on the summit engaged in an elaborate ritual of chanting and meditation. When we enquired with other onlookers as to the meaning of this practice we were told that it was believed that spiritual energy could be received from the sun if one stood on the pinnacle and sought to be a channel for this force. As we observed those intently engaged in this ceremony we prayed that their eyes would be opened to the Son who has loved them even before the sun was brought into being.
