OMFG!! The stage is an almost exact copy of an Aztec step pyramid.

It just hit me when the cameras pulled back to a wide shot of the whole edifice. They've either rolled in a new step pyramidal rostrum in front of the main stage for the high priest's speech or that view hasn't been shown before (that I've noticed.) Did anybody else notice this or am I losing it?

In an age old ritual, the old king must be sacrificed to the gods, so that the new king can receive their blessings. (Yeah, I know. I threw a little Celtic lore in there.)
