A little more perspective
INAH’s official visitor reference labels the pyramid’s height approximately 65 meters. Its archaeological description distinguishes the surviving pyramid from suggestions that a temple or sanctuary once occupied the summit.
The stepped stone mass is broad relative to its height. Its stairs and terraces remain in their architectural orientation; the pyramid is not made taller to fill the screen. Tunnels below the structure are outside the above-ground measurement.
