Revealed Mythologies is wrong. Sheng Seleris couldn't take Vormain because the Oceans were closed. The Emperor who actually tried to invade Vormain was ShangHsa may-his-name- be-cursed. Sheng Seleris invaded Teshnos from the north and didn't need a navy at all.
So the fact that Revealed Mythologies makes a booboo about Sheng adds little to my point about it being difficult to destroy a pyramid.

Why? The entire life of Sheng is one whole thing that shouldn't have occurred. But it's mentioned nevertheless because it did happened.

Which are not ignored in any way by the Dara Happan histories. So how does this show that the histories must have covered up the destruction of the Footstool?

I see nothing about Dara Happans easily making and destroying their pyramids. All the events of construction is presented as an act involving huge labor.

The Footstool isn't a tomb as the Dara Happan emperors are cremated.
