Until I get a real rules sheet down addressing what spam is exactly, here's what I'll be deleting:
1: No advertisements (unless you follow the 8/2 spam rule)
2: No "check this hotel out!"/ direct linking to hotels.
3: No random letters "vi gen gy yjng hin" linking to random sites.
I'll finish and style this when I have time. Welcome to /v/travel :)

Ok, I guess I exaggerated a bit. Nearly every continent though.

There are plenty more man made pyramid shaped things from ancient times, some far more impressive than others.

Those are some cool pyramids, I can't believe I never knew about them (excepting the Egyptian and Mayan pyramids).

I really had to dig in my history for this, but this was a comment I made on another discovery that was made recently.
I recall there being evidence of coca, nicotine, & hashish found in some mummies in Egypt as well. The hashish isn't that remarkable but the coca and tobacco indicate some connection to South America. I'll see if I can't find an article or two.

Yeah, I thought it was kind of neat myself. The more you dig into the topic the more you realize that the ancients knew more than we typically give them credit for and they most certainly had some form of contact with one another.
