Today, there millions of Maya living in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Many of them still speak a modern-day version of the Mayan language and even more of them still practice the Mayan religion (See Popol Vuh for the text of their "bible"). They are more than just the indigenous peoples of Mexico but, the Federal government there does not treat them well, in my opinion. Their heritage should allow them to be treated as more than the way they're treated as second class citizens. Of course, there were a lot more Maya when they ruled the area; the society as a whole is thought to have diminished when the food supply dwindled and the majority left the major population centers.
I've been looking for the answer to this as well, the oldest I have found information on is La Danta which is a pyramid from the pre-classic era, and is one of the largest pyramids in the world. Carvings on location indicate that it may have been built around 250BC. Other artifacts recovered nearby the Mirador Basin carbon date as old as 2700 BC. This pyramid was just discovered in 2009, its not inconceivable that there are older pyramids still undiscovered.
The Mayan pyramids are in Central America and more specific in Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador
the Mayan pyramids are just the same as Egyptian pyramids but the Mayans built them
In areas of central America, including southern Mexico (Yucatan peninsula), Guatemala and Honduras.
The Mayan pyramids (blocky structures not very close to those in Egypt and have temples placed on top) are located in South America. Around Guatemala.

It was the pyramids. The Mayans built stepped pyramids that were one of their most recognizable archiecture. The Egyptians built pyramids for tombs that were also very famous.
Yucatan and Chichenitza were the regions where the Maya were located. These lands (a peninsula) had impressive temples and pyramids. The people of these lands believed it would honor the gods by building them.
The mayans instructed pyramids as well.
