    'Bad Omen': Ancient Pyramid in Mexico Collapses Into Pile of Rubble

    Extreme weather events and rising seas are putting precious heritage
    sites around the world in harm's way.

    A stone pyramid in Mexico is the latest to succumb to an increasingly
    chaotic global climate. On the night of July 29, the 15-meter-high
    (roughly 50-foot-high) square monument located in the state of
    Michoacan suddenly slumped under the pressure of incessant rain, its
    south wall crumbling into a pile of rubble.

    "They blame the extreme weather events of recent weeks."

    So, this explanation would have to be evaluated for this location: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ihuatzio_(archaeological_site)>

    One previous extreme weather event: "Scenes of flood-ravaged
    neighborhoods in one of the planet's driest regions stunned the world
    this month. Heavy rains in the United Arab Emirates and Oman submerged
    cars, clogged highways and killed at least 21 people. Flights out of
    Dubai's airport, a major global hub, were severely disrupted.
    ...
    ...
    Global warming is projected to intensify downpours."

    Downpours can affect land, etc....

    No man, I blame Tláloc, whose divine watch has finally determined it is
    time for THE END OF DAYS. Science has no part in this discussion.

    Pray to Tláloc before it is too late. If you have any jaguar skulls you
    can offer in supplication, now is the time.

    REPENT, YOU FOOLS!

    Pray Tlaloc you fool! Then blow into a conch shell at the four
    cardinal corners to show your respect to Ometeotl.

    I quite like the idea of that female god that has six arms
    myself... she could wash the dishes and give you a hand-job at
    the same time.
