What are the pyramids used to worship gods called?

The pyramids used to worship gods in ancient Mesoamerican cultures, particularly the Aztecs and Mayans, are often referred to as "temple pyramids." These structures served as platforms for temples where rituals, sacrifices, and ceremonies were conducted to honor various deities. Unlike the Egyptian pyramids, which were primarily tombs, Mesoamerican pyramids were more focused on religious practices and community gatherings.
