A little more perspective
INAH’s monument account gives about 30 meters in height and approximately 55.5 meters per base side. The reference includes the summit building above the nine stepped bodies.
The long stairway does not define a separate sloping height. Compare the vertical distance from the base to the summit temple roof. Surrounding platforms, trees and neighboring buildings are outside the isolated structure.
