The Mayans primarily built their pyramids using limestone, which was abundant in the regions where they lived. They often quarried this stone locally, allowing them to create massive structures with intricate carvings and detailed designs. In addition to limestone, they sometimes used other materials like sandstone and volcanic rock for specific architectural features. The choice of stone contributed to the durability and longevity of their impressive pyramids.
