If the pyramid is actually as old as the dates listed, that is pretty amazing. I would love to know the story behind it... The names listed are referred to as Mother, Son, and Father. According to the dates, she died three days after the baby was born... So perhaps the grieving husband build this pyramid as a 1905 tribute to his beloved. The Taj Mahal of San Luis...? Fascinating stuff...

The Step Pyramid at Saqqara dates back almost 5,000 years.
Intended to hold his mummified body, Pharaoh Djoser's Step Pyramid at Saqqara began as a traditional, flat-roofed mastaba. But by the end of his 19-year reign, in 2611 B.C., it had risen to six stepped layers and stood 204 feet (62 meters) high. It was the largest building of its time.
Pyramidal orchids (Anacamptis pyramidalis) flower later than many other Menorcan orchids are around in May June and July. They also occur on Cabrera, Formentera, Ibiza and Mallorca.

January 1, 2019 - Exploring the Giza Pyramid Plateau which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The pyramids are the only remaining of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World.
Los Guachimontones (alternatively Huachimontones) is a pre-Columbian archaeological site near the Mexican town of Teuchitlán in the state of Jalisco. It is the major site of the so-called Teuchitlan tradition,[1] a complex society that existed from as early as 300 BCE until perhaps 900 CE.
The dominant features at los Guachimontones are circular stepped pyramids in the middle of circular building complexes. The 60-foot (18 m) tall pyramid at Circle 2 has 13 high steps leading to an upper level, which was then topped with another 4 high steps. A post hole was located at the very highest level, most likely for volador ceremonies.[2] The pyramids may also have supported small temples.
Sunken circular plazas surround each pyramid and a series of smaller mounds surround the plazas. On top of the mounds are platforms that once supported wooden buildings made of wood and clay.
The site has a total of 10 circular complexes, four rectangular plazas, two ballcourts.
