Detail InformationEdit

A twin pyramid complex or twin pyramid group was an architectural innovation of the Maya civilization of ancient Mesoamerica.
Twin pyramid complexes were regularly built at the great city of Tikal in the central Petén Basin of Guatemala to celebrate the end of the 20-year k’atun cycle of the Maya Long Count Calendar.
The basic layout of a twin pyramid complex consists of identical pyramids on the east and west sides of a small plaza, with a walled enclosure to the north housing a sculpted stela-altar pair and a range building to the south.
Plain monuments were generally raised at the foot of the east pyramid. The term “twin pyramid complex” was first used in 1956 by Edwin M. Shook when he recognised that five such groups conformed to a similar architectural pattern.
