Mayan pyramids were normally built out of limestone and were built on top of old pyramids. They had steep staircases. However, not all of the pyramids were meant to be climbed. Some were, where as others were not. I guess that some were just for looks. On more than just a few occasions, rulers and priests were buried underneath. The first large Mayan pyramid was built between 600 BC and 400 BC. Some good examples of Mayan pyramids and temples are Tikal and Palenque.

The reason Mayan pyramids and other structures are built so high is so they can be notice more easily in the dense rainforest they are in.
