Built around 1200 BC and is described by experts as one of the biggest pre-Columbian constructions in South America (45 feet high.)
The pyramid is dramatically damaged by looting and quarrying that began with the Spanish Conquest and has continued through the 20th Century. A large "looter's hole" can be seen in the center of the pyramid's top surface.
Note: Renovations to attract tourists to Akapana pyramid may end in building being removed from UN list of archaeological treasures
