Many Chinese pyramids, used as burial monuments, have flat tops.---------------------------------------Cheerleading. The pyramid is also one of the fundamental cheerleading structures, and allows for endless variations. The World Cheerleading Association (WCA), which includes pyramids/basket tosses as one of the six technical skills scoring categories, issues General Safety Guidelines with rules for the use of pyramids in competition. There are six competition levels, and special rules for what kinds of pyramids are allowed at each level. Pyramids may be 2, 2½, or 3 persons high, but for WCA competition, the limit is 2½ persons high at Level Six.There are three types of roles in cheerleading pyramids: bases, spotters, and flyers. Bases form the foundation for the flyers to mount on. Spotters may be simply standing by to assist, support, or catch someone in case of need, or may also brace the stunt.
What is the difference between an Aztec pyramid and an Egyptian pyramid?
The Maya civilization consisted of a number of city states. Each city state had its own king, priests, and nobles. While the various political units had considerable trade with each other, they also fought constantly with each other. They never had any kind of political mechanism to go beyond the city state. We know about their carved writing in stone. We know nothing about other materials which may have had writing on them. The jungle climate would have rotted away any cloth with any writing on it. The Aztecs built an empire. It was unified with one emperor at the top. The constant fighting of the Maya did not exist. People lived in peace and prosperity. The empire covered far more area than one Maya city state. The Aztecs were cruel, but maintained order and public works throughout the area. And the people were better fed than most of those in that area today. As a result, they were taller. Cortez claimed that Mexico City looked greater than any of the cities of Europe. It burned down during the conquest.
