Several hundred huge pyramids were discovered in China in the 20th century. They were built much earlier than the Egyptian ones. In 1945, the pilot of an American plane saw a huge structure. It was located in the center of the valley and was almost 2 times larger than the Cheops pyramid.
Unlike the Egyptian ones, the Great White ends in a flat area. When viewed from an airplane window, it seems to have been built of stone, more like metal. And the top is made of precious stones sparkling in the sun. The pyramid was built according to the laws of physics and geometry, it is oriented according to the stars. The Chinese government has banned foreign researchers from visiting the site. A fast-growing shrub is planted on the slopes, which gives the appearance of a natural object.

A solution of cement, clay and plant fibers was used to bond the slabs.
A facing material was applied on top. It is not known why the construction of the pyramid took so long.
Guimar
On the Canary island of Tenerife, there is a mysterious pyramid. Scientists do not give unambiguous answers to questions related to its construction.
It was built according to the laws of geometry and is considered the "correct" pyramid. There are 6 more similar objects nearby.
All buildings have stairs on the western slope, which on December 21 are aimed at sunrise. On June 21, a double sunset of the solar disk is seen from the peaks.
Ellinikon
The age of this amazing Greek pyramid is about 6 thousand years. It is believed that this is the oldest on earth.
Although dilapidated and not awe-inspiring in size, it is a very valuable historical study. The edges are verified and polished to the millimeter. They are laid without the use of auxiliary fastening materials.
It has an entrance similar in style to Mycenaean architecture. Scientists have not come to a consensus on the purpose of the object. Perhaps this is a defensive fortification or the tomb of the ancient Greeks.
Koh Ker
In the rugged region of Cambodia, in the ancient city of Kocher, there is a pyramid of the same name.
The stone blocks are stacked on top of each other without the use of bonding mortar. Surprisingly, this ancient structure, which is supported only by its own weight, has been well preserved to this day.
Carved figures of people and animals are visible on the stonework. According to legend, there is an underground part of the structure, but the entrance to it has not yet been found. Newly built wooden steps lead upstairs.
