While watching the Wario Land 4 intro clip just for fun, I came up with this ¨video game theory¨ of mine: Is the Golden Pyramid inspired by the legend of El Dorado?
For those who don’t know, the legend of El Dorado was a legend about a city entirely made of gold deep in the Amazon jungle, and was heavily sought after from the 16th to 18th century by the Spanish conquistadores and other explorers who ventured deep into this then-unknown territory, often to never be seen again.
A ¨pyramid discovered deep in jungle¨ that is entirely made of gold, doesn’t that sound a lot like this legend? Because that was what I thought. Especially interesting is how the Pyramid has, on the outside at least, an American architectural style, rather than the style of a traditional Egyptian pyramid.
