The Maya civilization consisted of a number of city states. Each city state had its own king, priests, and nobles. While the various political units had considerable trade with each other, they also fought constantly with each other. They never had any kind of political mechanism to go beyond the city state. We know about their carved writing in stone. We know nothing about other materials which may have had writing on them. The jungle climate would have rotted away any cloth with any writing on it. The Aztecs built an empire. It was unified with one emperor at the top. The constant fighting of the Maya did not exist. People lived in peace and prosperity. The empire covered far more area than one Maya city state. The Aztecs were cruel, but maintained order and public works throughout the area. And the people were better fed than most of those in that area today. As a result, they were taller. Cortez claimed that Mexico City looked greater than any of the cities of Europe. It burned down during the conquest.
Mayan pyramids were used for worship and usually had steps going up to an alter at the top. The Egyptian pyramids were used as tombs, the sides were steeper and they were generally taller.
Mayan pyramids are taller while Aztec pyramids were flatter. Both, however were truncated to hold pyramids at the top. Aztecs had more pyramids at the top.
the difference between a Aztec pyramid and temple is nothing they just call it different names.
They were different because their names are not the same.

The Aztecs were basically Gays, as they are still today all over Mexico. The Mayans were not.
The Aztec ruler had great structures built, similar to the Egyptian rulers. They also made laws and headed the military of the civilization.
One of the cultural differences between the Maya and the Aztec of Mexico is that the Aztecs used many more human sacrifices. Another difference is that the Maya were more into science, such as astronomy. The art that the Maya and Aztec created were also of different styles.
Hernando Cortes made a difference because he conquered the Aztec.
The empire state building was made in an Art Deco style. It is designed as the ancient Egyptian or Aztec pyramid.
Mayan pyramid
An Aztec pyramid is a Mesoamerican step pyramid structure that was commonly used for religious ceremonies and sacrifices. These pyramids were built by the Aztec civilization in ancient Mexico and served as temples dedicated to various deities. The most famous example is the Templo Mayor in the center of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan (modern-day Mexico City).

Aztec pyramids typically had a flat top where temples were located, while Egyptian pyramids had pointed tops. Additionally, Aztec pyramids were often constructed using adobe bricks and stones, while Egyptian pyramids were built with limestone blocks. The purpose of Aztec pyramids was mainly for religious ceremonies, while Egyptian pyramids served as tombs for pharaohs.
In math terms, a pyramid could have a square base, triangular base or another shape. The Egyptian pyramids (and Aztec ones) had a square base. So they had 8 edges (for on the base and 4 rising to the top) and 5 faces (4 facing up and the base).
The Aztecs were basically Gays, as they are still today all over Mexico. The Mayans were not.
The Templo Mayor (Main Temple). Its remains are located between the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral and Mexico's National Palace.
