The rounded corners appear to be far less common. In my opinion, they soften the appearance of the structure considerably. This structure is in the Mayan ruins of Cobá.

This structure is the principal attraction of Chichén Itzá. Beautifully constructed, with many significant connections with the Mayan calendar, the temple on top was where priests would determine the best times to do things, from planting crops to invading neighbours. This structure apparently shows some Toltec influences.

Surrounded by forest, an amazing view was to be had from the top.

The tallest structure at Lamanai, build around 100 BC.

They're steep, and they're hard. Steps up to the top of one of the Mayan temples in Tikal. You really don't want to miss your footing!

Beautiful views down from the highest structures over the Great Plaza and ball court of Copán.

Jo imagines herself to be a Mayan ruler looking down at her imaginary loyal subjects. We were early in the Copán ruins site, and had most of it to ourselves for much of the time.

Doing some background reading atop a Mayan temple at Copán. Again, being early has benefits of uncrowded enjoyment.
