Triadic pyramids were an innovation of the Preclassic Maya civilization consisting of a dominant structure flanked by two smaller inward-facing buildings, all mounted upon a single basal platform.[1] The largest known triadic pyramid was built at El Mirador in the Petén Basin of Guatemala; it covers an area six times as large as that covered by Tikal Temple IV, which is the largest pyramid at that city.[2] The three superstructures all have stairways leading up from the central plaza on top of the basal platform.[3] Triadic pyramid structures are found at early cities in the Maya lowlands.[4]
