| Abstract | The silhouette of a Maya ceremonial center was strangely like that of a modern American city. In the center, corresponding to our massed skyscrapers with their setbacks to permit light to penetrate to the street level, were the terraced pyramides around the central court. The series of outer rings of structures gradually decreasing in height, with an occasional area of loftier construction, can be equated with the less important business districts of a modern city. Finally, the outer ring of a Maya city, consisting of the thatched-roofed residences of the priests and members of the nobility, correspond to the suburbs of the American city. |
