    I wonder if they built some structure on top of the stone to make getting up and down easier or what?

    Is there a reason the stairs are so steep?

      People who built it were just thrilled they could make something that big, they probably didn’t think too hard about how hard it would be to go up and down. 🤷🏻‍♂️
