The largest and oldest pyramid ever discovered is in this hemisphere, Peru I believe.
I've never heard of any Peruvian pyramids. Say, a big thank you for all of your posts, I find them incredibly fascinating and very very informative. THANK YOU!!
"Cholula: The Pyramid of Tipanipa, "The Worlds Largest Pyramid!" For years the "Pyramid of Tipanipa" at Cholula was said to be the worlds largest pyramid. Not even the Great Pyramid of Egypt, had a larger base!
"Now, there is another located in the ancient ruins of El Mirador in Guatemala. El Mirador covers 10 square mile and its largest pyramid is called The Danta Pyramid. Rising 230 feet, The Danta Pyramid is said to be the tallest structure the Maya ever built."
"Even so, that still does not take away from the fact that Cholula is pretty big! After all it covers 25 acres and it is 181 feet high. That still makes it the largest base for any pyramid structure."
