What were the different functions of the Mayan temple?

 

The Mayan temple, or pyramid, served as observatory and place of worship.  Many of the ruling class' homes and other important buildings were built around the pyramids.  All Mayan dwellings, from the smallest home to the biggest city, were built according to the Mayan Indian's understanding of the universe.
