The monumental Pyramid of the Magician (El Adivino; a.k.a. Pyramid of the Soothsayer) is the central structure in the Maya ruin complex of Uxmal. Uxmal is an ancient Maya city of the classical period in present-day Mexico. It is considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Maya culture. Like other Puuc sites, the city flourished from 600-1000 CE, with the great building period taking place between 700 and 1000 CE. At its height, Uxmal was home to about 25,000 Maya.
