Interesting.... although a bit too shiny for my taste...
I am missing the staircase in front, only seeing the banisters... or is this 
model coming from a different tradition than the Aztec temples? I ask this 
because I noticed this same thing in a couple of entries in the 
October-November IRTC round.

For this scene I'm using this free Wavefront-model:

 www.skinhat.com/freemodels/architecture/ancient/

and extract the small pyramid right,down - for my scene.
As you can see..this small pyramid is not a the temple
(I believe). And the "main-pyramid" (which is IMHO the temple)
have staircases.

I'm no Aztec-expert", but it seems, everything is OK.

Aztecs had legs... they didn't fly up there.

Maybe that's what made Montezuma mad. ;-)

Seriously, I interpreted it as the stairs being too small. The stairs in 
the foreground don't seem to match the scale of the crenelations in the 
foreground, so maybe I'm confused, tho.

Right, the aztecs didn't fly...they used a lift inside
the pyramid, so no staircase outside was needed. ;-)

I thought it was a space ship, dumb!

The image is very appealing.

Actually, Chichen-itza has a staircase inside as well as outside the 
pyramid. There's a second pyramid on the inside.
