=== Basic structure === The pyramid is shaped like many of the other pyramids of [[Mesoamerica]]. The outer layer of the pyramid, which is currently visible, features a [[talud-tablero]] shape.<ref name=":0" /> It has 7 layers of buildings built on top of each other. It is 43 meters tall. Its base is 147 meters in the West to East direction by about 130 meters in the North to South direction. Given the name and contents of the pyramid, it is hypothesized that there the symbolism of the moon may have been associated with water, the rainy season, femininity, fertility, and even earth.
