    If you count the Moche temples or things like Huaca del Sol pyramids I guess but... they're not pyramids geometrically for sure. Just very massive temples. If you want the classical pyramids you'll have to look at Mayas (pre 1000 AC), or Aztecs (post 1000 AC), which are mesoamerican. The Incan Empire (1200/1400 AC) and the civilizations that came before in South America are separated by thousands of kilometers, it's a very different type of culture and visuals. The former are tropically based, the latter live on top of the Andean mountains (even though the Incan Empire at its height had little to envy to the roman empire in surface, and had a lot of different cultures integrated into it).


    ( I'm very excited for that area in DT, I'm a big fan of quechua/aymara cultures )
