Good question
See Psychology Today, "Mayan and Egyptian Pyramids: A hidden connection"?
There might well have been contact and sharing

@SW-User That is a conflict by itself though. Shared information would have left traces of inherited understanding... yet nothing has been shown for this

@MikefromEP Actually not so
There is evidence - the architecture for one!!!

@SW-User The buildings are very different. Mayan had a community design.. where as Egyptian had internal structure

@MikefromEP Interesting, and I didn't know this. Did you study in this area? However, your question...Maybe take a look at the article too
Another area of similarity across the globe, creation myths

@SW-User I learn as I go. China has it's own version .. but closed off to the general public
