Ancient Temple in Mexico

Superimposed pyramids in exact East West orientation. The structure was probably started by the Chichimecs with the final 3 layers in the Aztec style. New layers were made every 52 years, the pre Columbian Century. The final structure is 17 Meters tall and covers 43 square Meters. There are 88 stone snake figures representing Quetzalcoatl around the base. The altar of skulls is now in the Mexico City Archaeological Museum.
