Archictecture: Gigantic limestone structures covered in stucco were its hallmark. The buildings were adorned with masks and crests carved in stone and stucco and generally painted red, due to the large amount of limestone available in the Mayan lands of the Petén; the lime and mixture was easily produced allowing the construction of impressive pyramids and palaces, generally the pyramids in the pre-classic period were crowned with three wooden temples and thatched roof, known as "Triadic Complexes"; during the classic they had one or two rooms with the characteristic Mayan vault.
