<p>
<P>1) Pyramid of the Inscriptions, Palenque Mexico (Mayan).&nbsp; This beautifully balanced pyramid with&nbsp;the jungle-covered hills in the background is my personal favorite.&nbsp;</P>
<P>2) Cheops Pyramid, Giza, Egypt (Old Kingdom, Egyptian).&nbsp; The size, dimensions and desert background, combined with the age makes this #2.</P>
<P>3) Temple I, Tikal, Guatemala (Mayan).&nbsp; As with all five temples in Tikal, this pyramid is almost too steep to climb.&nbsp; The flat jungle expanse spreads out like an ocean from the five temples.</P>
<P>4) Step Pyramid, Memphis, Egypt (Old Kingdom, Egyptian).&nbsp; The oldest pyramid in Egypt.&nbsp; It looks just like the Mesoamerican pyramids.</P>
<P>5) Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacan, Mexico (Teotihuacan).&nbsp; Massive, and perfectly aligned with the sun and stars on the vernal equinox, the history of this place is largely unknown.</P>
<P>6) El Castillo Pyramido, Tulum, Mexico (Mayan).&nbsp; Small and beautiful, on the shores of the Mexican Caribbean.</P>
<P>7) Pyramid of the Morning Star, Tula, Mexico (Toltec).&nbsp; What makes this pyramid so special are the carved stone "Atlantes" that once help up a massive roof to a temple.</P>
<P>8) Pyramid of Tzintzuntzan, Michoacan, Mexico (Purepechas).&nbsp; This pyramid is not square, trangular, or round, but is long, like a snake.&nbsp; Perhaps the strangest pyramid I've ever seen.</P>
<P>9) Cuicuilco, Mexico City, Mexico (Cuicuiltecas).&nbsp; This one is round.&nbsp; It's the second strangest pyramid I've seen.&nbsp; It was burried by a volcanic flow from the Xitle Volcano which sits in the middle of the University Campus in Mexico City.</P>
<P>10) Tepozeco Pyramid, Tepoztlan, Mexico. (Mexica).&nbsp; Built high up on steep cliffs above the town of Tepoztlan, it has been a pilgrimage site for centuries.</P>
