Thor Heyerdahl and crew attempted to prove such a theory and wrote about it a book called The Voyage of the Kon-Tiki. They didn't really prove anything, but it's a heck of a fun read. (Basically, against the argument that the Egyptians couldn't have built a boat that could sail across the ocean, they proceeded to build one with materials and methods available to the Egyptians and did it.)

ok we've the "Egyptians have pyramids and so do the Mayans! What are the data? The Egyptian pyramid construction era replaced into approximately 3000BCE. The Mayan temples began approximately 1CE. The Egyptian pyramids often happening used replaced right into a tombs. The Mayan buried human beings in them however the often happening use replaced right into a intense place for non secular ceremonies. The Egyptian pyramids have been pointed with out outdoors get right of entry to. The Mayan temples have been equipped with stairs and a flat suitable to hold structures. there is particularly purely some strategies to construct a tall shape. Stone or earth all of them finally end up looking a similar. hi JanStolz what's the source for the got here across Phonetician shipwreck. i might prefer to study the archeological checklist.

If you're referring to the pyramids - no.
Think about it, you are a leader in a relatively undeveloped civilisation and you want to build a massive building.
You can't build towers as you don't have reinforced concrete or steel. All you have is stone but you haven't even sussed out the engineering principles of the arch yet. So what do you build, a big off pyramid.

Not at all.
Unless you believe in some crank theory involving "alternative" history and the likely intervention of Atlanteans or Masters from Space.

interesting theory but doubtful. they came up with similar structures because the pyramid is a logical shape to build when starting out in engineering practices. there were other Ancient peoples who also built pyramid shaped structures in North America and elsewhere.

They both built pyramids. They both worshiped pantheons of gods, including some that were half-animal, half human.
But other than those superficial similarities, no. There's no proof they had any connection no matter how hard I wish for it.

no. that's just pseudohistory. nearly all early structures have a pyramid-like form.
Aztec and Egyptian culture was very different from one another.

Of course. All humans are related.

they have many similarities, but I don't think they are related.

No, I think they both had alien influences though LOL.
