Are the pyramids tombs, like in Egypt?
No, the pyramids are not technically tombs. Structures that look like pyramids, were originally stepped terraces built to support a building on top. People were buried within the buildings on top of these stepped terraces, and over many years, archaeologists find burials deep within the structures, but the Maya of Copan did not bury people deep within the stepped terraces, like the Egyptians buried people deep in their pyramids.
