Pyramid of Tula

The Pyramid of Tula is a large, ancient stone structure built by the Toltec civilization in present-day Mexico around the 10th to 12th centuries. It features a stepped, rectangular pyramid topped with a temple and decorative stone carvings, including legendary warriors known as the Toltec Chalaque. The pyramid served religious and ceremonial purposes, likely related to rituals honoring gods and ancestors. Its impressive architecture and intricate carvings reflect the Toltec society’s craftsmanship, religious beliefs, and social hierarchy. Today, it remains an important archaeological site, providing insight into pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican culture.
