Every ancient building everywhere is mysteriously aligned with the sun.

1. Those dirty nazis!

You ever notice how they always portray National Socialists
in an unfavorable light? It's always blitzkrieg this and holocaust
that and not one word about the Volkswagen.

2. That's true of the Temple of Kulkulkan.

It's aligned perfectly, so that on the days of the spring and autumnal equinox, the great Kulkulkan himself comes to visit.

Do you see him?

and Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid and every other damn ancient structure the History Channel shows.
