Uxmal,
State Yucatán, México Magician Pyramid Early Classic (200-600) - Early Postclassic (900-1200) 569 AD & later (900s AD) |
Comments: The earlier phases of this pyramid were constructed in the Puuc style characterized by roof combs, inclined friezes, and absence of rich decoration. The later phase is typical for Chenes style with mul- ti-chambered structures and Chac masks in rich ornamental friezes. |
