Bulldozers Destroy Ancient Mayan Pyramid Nohmul In Belize

That's the way I feel when I see all of these huge Redwood tree stumps around here that you could build a small house on top of, they were so large..and when they're gone they're gone.

I've thought about it, if I planted a redwood tree in this lifetime, it would take another fifty average lifetimes before I would see it reach the same size.

And the Mayans aren't building anymore pyramids that I know of.

Seeing that happen to the redwoods would be heartbreaking.

Several years ago, I saw a lush, lovely deciduous forest be bulldozed down and heaped into huge brush piles and burnt to make way for pasture for cattle. Hearing those trees being toppled, literally wrenched from the ground, made me cry.
