  Deconstructing a Maya Pyramid
Workers dig at the base of Tazumal's smaller pyramid, where the removal of concrete revealed ancient stonework.
Led by Fabricio Valdivieso, chief of archaeology at Concultura, they have found burials where none were thought to exist, an intriguing array of ceramics, and architectural elements that suggest a vastly more complex history of occupations, invasions, and Mexican influences than previously realized.
Tazumal and a dozen nearby ruins are providing new insights into ancient Mesoamerica that, if not for the downpour in 2004, might have remained locked in cement forever.

 Salvador - 2005.01.15 - Tazumal
Archaeological site of Tazumal in Chalchuapa is considered the most important in El Salvador.
Visitor, used to see stone constructions (such as in Guatemala or Honduras), will be very surprised, that Salvadorean restorers (as we will see, not only in Tazumal) reconstruct pyramides out of concrete.
I agree that even pyramids in Copán or Tikal are probably not all original, but replacing thousand-years old buildings with concrete replicas is a strong local cultural specialty..
