It's still taking time to come to terms with that, but I definitely believe it.

By the way, you have learned they have some huge pyramids in China, too, haven't you?

That will become more discussed as relations with China are finally respected in the years ahead, and open communication and trust are developed among the people here and there. They have guarded the pyramids closely to this point, and will share when they are comfortable.
