The pyramid construction technique also raises questions. All of them are laid out of processed stones of volcanic origin of rectangular shape, the upper platforms and each step are leveled and neatly sprinkled with gravel. The sites before the construction of each pyramid were carefully leveled, and the corner stones of the pyramids were sharpened.
