"What method was used to construct the pyramids in Mexico? Are the construction techniques similar or identical?" The construction methods were very different. The pyramids in the Mexico were constructed using earth and rubble as a core, with limestone as the exterior facing material. The Great Pyramids of Egypt were constructed using thousands of 2.5-ton limestone blocks throughout (with some huge granite blocks thrown in for good measure).
