Bandelier's investigations is that he regards the structure as made up of huge walls of adobe, forming immense communal buildings, in char- acter resembling those at Pecos and other places in New Mexico, but in size approaching the great edifices of Uxmal or of Palenque, and all built around a vast court, in the centre of which stood an enormous "worship-mound." This reduces the great pyramid of Cholula to an artificially elevated, fortified pueblo. Such a conclusion is very naturally reached b...y an archaeologist who avows himself the disciple of our late distinguished associate, Lewis H. Morgan. Digitized by LjOOQ IC THIRD ANNUAL REPORT, 29 Upon the question, Who were the builders? he in- clines to the opinion that they were the Toltecs, whom he would identify with the Mayas, chiefly from lin- guistic arguments, for some of which he acknowledges his indebtedness to Dr. Valentini. Tradition is so uniform in speaking of its destruction, that it would seem that the report must have some foundation, and, in view of the present condition of the mound, that it must relate to the ruin of the buildings on the terraces and the summit, which may have been the work of the Nahuitls.
