Pyramids in The Americas Despite the fact that the pyramids at Giza in Egypt are the most famous of all, as well as having a worldwide reputation, the Americas contain more pyramid structures than the rest of the planet combined. The Maya, Olmec, Aztec and Inca civilizations built pyramids to house their deities and to bury their kings. In some of the great city-states, temple-pyramids formed the center of public life and were the site of holy ritual. The best known Latin American pyramids include the following: - Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon at Teotihuacán (central México) - Castillo at Chichén Itzá in Yucatán (México) - Great Pyramid in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán - Pyramid at Cholula and the Inca’s great temple at Cuzco (Perú)
