The Grand Plaza of
Tikal has a very unique design, its solid-pyramid-like structure that has
a square base that slopes together finally meeting a smaller square top.
This temple was a
worship place for the Mayan's gods. At the foot of this temple sits several
sacrifice rocks. The sacrificing rocks were used for Human sacrificing.
The pyramid is now only a tourists site. The Plaza is and was surrounded
by stele and sculpted altars, ceremonial buildings, residential palaces,
and a ball court. The Grand Plaza is approximately 45 meters high.
