Built By Ancient Giants: A Mysterious Pyramid Hidden Inside Of A Mountain In Mexico

In the heart of Mexico, an ancient wonder more than 2,000-years-old looms large, dwarfing even Egypt’s famed Great Pyramid of Giza. This is the Great Pyramid of Cholula, a colossal structure largely concealed by the mountainous terrain it was built within.

Shrouded in mystery, legend attributes the creation of this engineering marvel to a mythical race of giants said to have roamed Mexico centuries ago. This colossal monument, stretching 1500 feet in width and reaching a height of 220 feet, harbors a labyrinth of tunnels stretching five miles beneath its surface. It is the largest pyramid ever constructed by volume, and some consider it to be the largest monument ever crafted by human hands.

The temple complex contains many distinct buildings, each possessing unique historical, archaeological, and spiritual attributes. The largest of these structures are La Conejera, The Pyramid of the Painted Skulls, and The Pyramid of the Nine Stories. Beyond these central edifices, courtyards, altars, outbuildings, and decorative surfaces dot the landscape. These surfaces once bore vibrant Aztec murals, a colorful invocation of goodwill and fortune from the gods.

Astoundingly, most of the Pyramid is crafted from 'adobe' bricks, a blend of mud, sand, and straw, baked solid under the sun. Mexico's arid, dry climate has served to preserve these bricks, maintaining their strength and integrity over millennia.

The Great Pyramid of Cholula is not considered to be a single structure by some but a series of six or more pyramids built on top of one another, each the contribution of another civilization, designed not to replace the preexisting monuments but to preserve them.

Over the centuries, archaeologists, explorers, and anthropologists have endeavored to unearth the secrets held within this monument. They seek to understand its origins, peeling back layer upon layer of its construction. Yet, despite their efforts, they have been unable to reach a consensus regarding the identity of the original builders of this monument...
