The Mayas built their pyramids high above the surrounding forests to see the heavens. Besides honoring the gods on high, Maya pyramids also served as observatories for solar events. The Maya pyramids even aligned well with cardinal directions, or north, east, west, and south, so that they were used like a compass.

While recent discoveries point toward the extensive use of pyramids as tombs, the temples themselves seem to rarely, if ever, contain burials. The pyramids were tall with long staircases and temples at the top some of which have flat roof combs. The temples and facades of the structures in this style are flat and lack decoration.

Ritual sacrifices played a vital role in the Mayan realm. They sacrificed both animals and humans.

I have included a ground base, 4 sets of ivy vines, jungle backdrop, 2 sets of jungle fauna, 2 step pyramids, and a temple wall.

Ideal for distant and close renders, and the objects can be arranged to suit your needs.
