Something about the temple on Epstein's island has been nagging at me, seeming familiar.
I've been looking at architecture and symbols and the closest I have been able to find is in the Maya and Aztec civilizations.
Their temples were pyramids with steps going up to the top where there was a small square building. Many representations that I saw showed vertical stripes on the building.
Now Epstein's temple is atop a hill, so the pyramid could be considered to be underground.
Also, the images around the temple look a lot like mesoamerican religious symbols.
And the Aztecs and Mayas both practiced human sacrifice.
