The central pyramid on Mauritius aligns perfectly with the December 21st summer solstice sunrise. This is noteworthy because Mauritius lies in the southern hemisphere where December marks the summer solstice. The solstice doesn't mark planting, harvest, or winter prep—making it the least useful solar event for agriculture. This raises questions about whether plantation workers in the 1900s would have aligned structures to solar cycles.
