Mayan Construction:
General
The general
view of the construction process goes like this. The peasants would
build the platform. The pyramids and palaces were build on top.
The stones that they pulled from the quarry would be refined by chipping
and flaking to a flat surface. For a more detailed example of the
Mayan construction process, refer to "First Temple - Cerros(Schele and
Freidel 106)."
