The most famous pyramids in the world are located in Egypt, for several millennia striking humanity with their grandeur and size. But as it turned out, the world's largest pyramid is not in Egypt at all. If you want to take a look at it, then go to Mexico.
The city of Puebla has a huge hill with a temple on top. Be warned, though: what appears to be a hill at first glance is a huge man-made structure - the world's largest pyramid, built 2,300 years ago.
Disguised monument
It is unknown today who raised it. It is also difficult to say whether the builders knew that the clay, which covered the walls of the structure, would allow the plants to completely hide it from view. One thing is certain: the pyramid is really difficult to find. Conquistador Cortez did not notice her in 1519. The locals did not know about it either until 1910.
This is the largest monument known to date. The structure of the building is similar to the pyramid of the Sun, and the volume is almost twice as large as that of the Cheops pyramid in Giza.

Archaeologists have discovered 400 graves on the site, so it was probably a sacred site. Experts suggest that the area was abandoned by humans around the 7th century AD. e. Now it is a popular attraction for observant tourists.
