Most people think the largest pyramid on the planet is the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau in Egypt.
But it is not.
The largest pyramid ever built – in fact the largest construction ever created on planet earth – is the pyramid of Cholula. The base is four times that of the Great Pyramid and it is nearly twice the volume.
No one knows who built this pyramid, and I have to say the date of 300 BC for the beginning of its construction can only be another guess on the part of archaeologists. By the time the Spanish arrived the pyramid was in the Mexica (Aztec) heartland, but the Mexica never built it, as they did not build so many other pyramids they were occupying. No one knows anything about these pyramids. In fact the Spanish never even knew this particular pyramid was there at all, such was the scale of it – it appeared to be a natural hill.
