The ark on top of the pyramid effect is an optical illusion. It is quite possible that the step pyramid could be a miniature component from a much, much larger model which would naturally be enhanced via digital FX in post production. My first thought was that the pyramid could be from Teotihuacan (The City of the Gods) because it's steep-sided design doesn't seem to fit with the Mayan architecture of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Indy must foil the alien invasion fleet by getting the lost ark to a ziggurat in the middle of the Nazca lines, because their alien geometry will enhance the power of God and fry the aliens...and Indy's vastly relieved when he sees the Ziggurat is only 20 feet tall!!! Yeah, that must be it.
