The stones in the next to last picture are reminiscent of the ones at Stonehenge.
The upright stones in Xochitécatl are shaped cylinders with flattened tops, unlike the roughly shaped uprights at Stonehenge. And the capstone seems to be a modified oval shape. I can't understand how the rounded capstone stays in place when it only touches a small portion on the surface of the uprights. One would think it would fall off during an earth tremor.
As seen in this image, the capstones and uprights in Stonehenge are rectangular and appear to fit together more securely.
