Uxmal,
State Yucatán, México Magician Pyramid Early Classic (200-600) - Early Postclassic (900-1200) 569 AD & later (900s AD) |
Comments: This fine step pyramid temple is unusual in several ways. The corners of this structure are round, rather than made square at the usual right angle. A newer pyramid was built above and slightly to the east of the older pyramid, preserving the temple atop the old pyramid. |
