State Yucatán, México Magician Pyramid: Eastern Stairs Early Classic (200-600) - Early Postclassic (900-1200) 569 AD & later (900s AD) |
Comments: There are two staircases that lead to the top of pyramid, both at a steep 60° angle. The Eastern Stairs are the wider of the two, starting from the base of the structure to the upper Temple V. Near the top of the stairs is a smaller Temple II that cuts into the stairway itself. |
