Atlantean figures
Atlantean figures, also commonly referred to as atlant or atlantes, are carved stone support pillars in the shape of fierce men. In Mesoamerica these figures are considered to be "massive statues of Toltec warriors".
== Composition ==
Atlantean figures were made out of the available stone in the area, such as limestone, sandstone, or volcanic rock. They were carved by hand, presumably by multiple individuals at once. To carve them the individuals would have used stone tools, such as small chisels for fine sculpting, scrapers of various sizes to shape and add little details, and stone hammers to break the stones. Additional smaller and softer stones were used for smoothing. Creating these figures would have been very time consuming, which is an indication that they served a purpose of some sort.
