"When we consider," Doctor Cummings explains, "that this pyramid must have been built before some great eruption in the vicinity sent forth its deluging shower of ashes, and, and pumice, and that this calamity occurred long before the flow from Ajusco, which careful calculation places between two and three thousand years ago, and that no polished stone implements are found; that the stone implements are grinding and polishing stones, flaked knives, borers, and scrapers; that the pottery even near the surface is crude and archaic; that the entire structure contains no hewn stone and no cement or plaster in any form, we realize that architecture had its beginning in Mexico long before the Christian era.
"How long were the people of Culcullco in developing the ability to rear this massive pyramid?" he asks.
"Through how many centuries had this American branch of the human family struggled before they gained sufficient mastery of material things and sufficient social and political cooperation and organization to produce such results? How many centuries elapsed between the building of Culcullco and the ornate pyramid of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihan, which, Doctor Cumming explains, was built before the First century A.D.?
"Human progress," he points out, "has always been slow, and early American progress was no exception. This pyramid, then, opens up a chapter of human progress on this side of the Atlantic of which men have dreamed but which has never been recorded in authentic annals."
