Abstract:

The pyramids built by the pharaohs of ancient Egypt - especially the magnificent tomb of the fourth Dynasty's Khufu, or Cheops - have prompted extensive inquiry through the ages. Not so the pyramids erected by other ancient people - those of the Maya, for example. But the pyramids of the Maya - Kukulc�n's among them - reveal much about the sophisticated skills of their builders.
