This is a hypothetical reconstruction of Structure A-18, located in the Maya site Uaxactun (alternative spelling: Waxaktun). The structure has 2 storeys and, despite looking like a temple pyramid, more likely served as a palacial complex for elite citizens; presumably from the royal family. While I am not sure in which exact period this structure was built, it is thought to predate 600 AD, meaning it is an Early Classic structure. The architectural style is clearly Central Petén.
As for the reconstruction, I have based the form and shape on reconstruction drawings by Tatiana Proskouriakoff (note that these in itself are hypothetical reconstructions). Because it is on a 1:1 scale, I cannot faithfully recreate every detail and the decorative features such as the masks, which were present on the real-life building. These are both abbreviated and my own creation. The colour scheme, apart from the red (most Maya structures were painted bright red), are my own creativity.

The remainder of the interior rooms has been created. Schematic is updated.
Please be aware that given the 1:1 scale, rooms and corridors are small and likely inaccurate in dimensions with regard to the real structure.
