A pyramid, covered by a hilly look is considered as the largest pyramid in the world and it is not situated in Egypt. Eventually, it is situated in in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico with an image of an ordinary hill.

After measuring the size of the great Pyramid of Cholula, archaeologists have been curtained that it is the largest pyramid which is almost twice of the volume of the Great Pyramid Giza with a base, 4 times bigger than it. Archaeologists have also uncovered over 400 human burials inside the hidden pyramid. So, it suggests that it was a place of worship to the people of its early time.

They also find it to be constructed at least 2300 years ago but the identity of the constructors is still unknown. The clay that covered it is also examined and it is assumed that this type of clay is very helpful to hide such a big thing and create an appearance like a hill. The pyramid is pretty much harder to be found and so, Cortes didn’t find it while invading Cholula in 1579 and locals didn’t notice it before 1910.

Right now, there is a church on the top of the pyramid and it has become an important tourist spot of Mexico.
