World's largest pyramid is in Mexico

Mexico is full of magnificent architecture built by Sky People like Nohoch Mul, Quintana Roo

Where is the world's largest pyramid? It is in Mexico, in CHOLULA, not in Egypt nor in the places with more pyramids than Egypt, namely, Sudan, the Americas, and China.

Cholula, Mexico, the world's largest pyramid (really!) - The Maritime Explorer

After 20 years of research, Graham Hancock does not reveal how the pyramids were built

(Business Hook) March 26, 2025: The Great Pyramid of Giza harbors unimaginable secrets. Graham Hancock (grahamhancock.com) has spent decades uncovering its real purpose. Was it just a burial site, or does it align with the forces of the universe? The pyramids mirror Orion's Belt, and the Sphinx may be older than 12,000 years old. Ancient wisdom, lost civilization, and bizarre accuracy, this mystery is profound. Let's crack the case about Egypt's greatest mystery.

Pyramids in Indonesia? You bet!

According to the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia ["National Institute of Anthropology and History"] the Great Pyramid of Cholula is also known as Tlachihualtepetl (Nahuatl for "Constructed Mountain" or "Made-by-hand Mountain").

Nahuatl (pronounced \nah-wah\) is the national indigenous language of Mexico, not Spanish which is byproduct of conquest and European imperialism in the Americas. It is that same imperialism and hegemony (conquest and influence) that tried to hide this world-class discovery centuries ago when Catholic-Christian missionaries buried it and built a church on top of it.

Behind the facade of white stones

Made-by-hand Mountain is a complex located in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. It is the largest archeological site of a pyramid (temple) in the New World -- as well as the largest pyramid by volume known to exist in the world today [1, 2] (though there may be larger ones in Indonesia, Bosnia, Antarctica, and the Moon, not to mention the massive Buddhist pyramid in Java known as Borobudur).

• Why wouldn't the largest be in Mexico, which has many great Mesoamerican pyramids? See list
• Cover-up: The Mystery of Bosnia's Ancient Pyramids (Smithsonian Magazine)

The adobe brick pyramid stands 82 feet (25 meters) [3] above the surrounding plain, which is significantly shorter than the Great Pyramid of Giza's height of 481 feet (146.6 meters), but much wider, measuring 984 by 1,033 feet (300 by 315 meters) in its final form [3], compared to the Great Pyramid of Giza's base dimensions of 756 by 756 feet (230.3 by 230.3 meters) [4].

Humans may have built the Egyptians but only with help from the space "gods" (devas).

.

The pyramid is a temple that traditionally has been viewed as having been dedicated to the god Quetzalcoatl [5]. The architectural style of the building was linked closely to that of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico, although influence from the Gulf Coast is evident as well, especially from El Tajín [6].

Location and etymology

The Cholula archeological zone is situated 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) west of the city of Puebla [7], in the City of Cholula. The pyramid is located in the San Andrés Cholula, Puebla municipality, and marks the area in the center of the city where this municipality begins.

The city is divided into two municipalities called San Andrés and San Pedro. This division originates in the Toltec-Chichimeca conquest of the city in the 12th century. These pushed the former dominant ethnicity of the Olmeca-Xicalanca to the south of the city [8].

These people kept the pyramid as their primary religious center, but the newly dominant Toltec-Chichimecas founded a new temple to Quetzalcoatl where the San Gabriel Monastery is now.

The Toltec-Chichimec people who settled in the area around the 12th century AD named Cholula as Tlachihualtepetl, meaning "artificial" or "handmade hill" [9].  The name cholula has its origin in the ancient Nahuatl word cholollan, which means "place of refuge" [7]. More

Native Americans linked to Buddhists (BP)

LOS ANGELES, California - Saludos amigos! Buddhism is on the increase in the Latino/a community. Students at the Buddhist University of the West, editors at Wisdom Quarterly, and Latin youth at Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society are part of the reason.

As a native Angeleno and psychology major with a concentration in multicultural counseling at UWest, I exist in a world between cultures, languages and, until recently, between religions.

L.A. meditates for direct experience (LAT).

Many Latinos in the USA -- hailing from Mexico, Spain, the Caribbean, and Central and South America -- suffer a mild form of cognitive dissonance: conflicting ideas about spiritual truth.

There is a conditioned fear of abandoning Catholic traditions, fear of becoming outcasts in our families, and outsiders in our own very traditional communities.

Goddess of Compassion takes many forms (udayton).

But I now know that I am not alone. There is comfort in my sangha (our supportive "Buddhist community") and in Los Angeles. We share with one another and with every person of every world-religion values that unite us: generosity, unselfish compassion, virtue, acceptance, kindness, mindfulness (as opposed to absentmindedness), and mystic wisdom (mysticism).

With these seven values I go forth into the world as an American of Mexican descent culturally aware and spiritually free.

Who are we?

Rick Fields: Buddhism arrived MX and CA.

Quienes somos? Sometimes proud, sometimes uncertain, sometimes lonely, we are sometimes so full of life that we can hardly contain ourselves with happiness. We laugh and cry and suffer disappointment (dukkha) just like everyone else. And like many in more progressive parts of the USA, we try to make sense of the world, looking for meaning in our lives and a reason for our unsatisfactoriness.

Traveling down town to work, we see that we share our plight with everyone here. Yo soy como tu, soy como mis padres, soy Mexicano, Salvadoreño, Colombiano…Argentino, soy tu hermano, tu hijo, y soy libre, yo soy Budista. (I am like you, like my parents, I am Mexican, Salvadorean, Colombian...Argentinian, I am your brother, your child, I am free, I am Buddhist).

Who aren't we?

Virg Yin Mary and Guan Yin

Quienes no somos? Although we walk hand in hand with our Chinese sisters and brothers, we are not Chinese. Although we live our lives in accordance to the Buddha's teachings, we are not Tibetans. And while we sit still and meditate to strengthen our minds and resolve, we are not (east) Indians. We do not speak Vietnamese, don’t know the Korean word for chile salsa [kim chee].

And while we love exploring the many cultures and spiritual traditions that make up the Los Angeles County quilt, we have our own very good one. Latinas have a storied past, full of flavor, color, and beauty. It defines and permeates our essence.

• Buddhism arrived in Mexico long before Catholicism/Christianity conquered the New World
  

Be Catholic, we own you! says Church

We are not trying to adopt or misappropriate another culture. We are sharing in the universal appeal of the Buddha's teachings, which are for the benefit of all living beings regardless or era or area, past or status, wealth or wakefulness.

We are only wise enough to know that truth stands like a mountain in any country in any age among any group aligned with any culture. Like Lisa Simpson learned one Christmas, you don't have to give up your culture or deeply held beliefs to practice in line with the wise and kind Buddha-Dharma.

Where are we going?

Guan Yin is a lot like the famous Virg Yin of Guadalupe (Tammy Wetzel/Aloha2you/flickr); she also appears to modern Aztec dancers in El Pueblo de Los Angeles as the Lady Queen of Angels.

 
A donde vamos? We are not going anywhere. We are here to stay. The German Jewish Theravada Buddhist nun from Sri Lanka Ayya Khema wrote a book Being No One Going Nowhere.

Like her we do not demand that anyone believe anything. We embrace our human family with open arms even as Asian Buddhists in America assimilate to the Judeo-Christian culture and Americans absorb the Dharma that was once called the "Light of Asia."

For the curious we open our hearts and minds with acceptance and patience. Spiritual liberation is not spiritual emptiness; it is opening the doors to experiences that fill one with wonder that searches for truth.

The truth is not easily attained. It takes the eightfold practice, it takes discipline, it takes confidence (saddha), concentration (samadhi), and above all loving-kindness (metta).

Diverse student body at the University of the West, lay and monastic (uwest.edu)

 
That is where we are going as Latinos embracing Buddhism -- a spiritual journey to find the truth and live it wherever and in whatever form we find it.

The truth is like the sun on a rainy day: It is always there obscured by clouds. So how does one clear them away and hold a mind/heart as vast as the sky?

That is what we want to know and show. That is our goal -- a collective effort with readers of this series. Come back soon and together we will get our hands deep in the masa (dough) of nuestro Budismo (our very own Buddhism).

The University of the West (uwest.edu) -- located in the San Gabriel Valley east of the city center at 1409 Walnut Grove Ave., Rosemead, CA 91770 -- is affiliated with the massive Going West (Hsi Lai) Buddhist Temple complex in the eastern end of the valley in Hacienda Heights. Here all Buddhist traditions are at home, and there is a large business school as well as a religious studies program.

DNA: Are Native Americans, Mexicans Asian?

Xochitl, Ashley Wells, Dhr.Seven, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly; Scott Neuman (All Things Considered, NPR.org, 5-16-14), "Ancient skeleton in Mexico sheds light on Americas settlement"

In this June 2013 photo provided by National Geographic, diver Susan Bird, working at the bottom of Hoyo Negro, a large dome-shaped underwater cave in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, brushes Naia's skull found at the site (Paul Nicklen/AP).

 

A nearly complete skeleton of a teenage girl (called "Naia") has yielded DNA clues linking her to Native Americans living today. She died 12,000-13,000 years ago in a cave in the Yucatan Peninsula (modern Mexico). 

 

The connection bolsters the prevailing theory that the sole route of human migration into North America took place over a Siberia-Alaska land bridge known as Beringia, starting 15,000-20,000 years ago.

 

NPR Science Correspondent Joe Palca says the skeleton of the girl, who died at age 15 to 16, was discovered in 2007 amid a complex of flooded caverns in Mexico known as Hoyo Negro, or "Black Hole."

 

Meditating Mayan figurine (MT)

Scientific American says, "She lies in a collapsed chamber together with the remains of 26 other large mammals, including a saber-toothed tiger, 600 meters from the nearest sinkhole. Most of the mammals became extinct around 13,000 years ago."

 

"It was impossible to safely recover the body from the cave location, so the research team dove to the cave and made bone measurements [on site]. They placed Naia's skull on a rotating tripod and set a camera on a second tripod next to it. Turning the skull slowly, they snapped pictures every 20 degrees. Later the team used the photographs to reconstruct a three-dimensional image."

 

Aztec Kwan Yin, Queen of Devas (LTG)

James Chatters of Applied Paleoscience in Bothell, Washington, led the study and published the results in the journal Science.

 

Chatters says the skeleton, known as Naia after the water nymphs (naiads) of Greek mythology, doesn't look much like modern Native Americans, who have narrower faces, different teeth, and a different palate.

 

"I could tell from the shape of the palette and some other aspects of the skull that she was similar to some of the other earliest Americans I'd seen," Chatters says. "So many differences that it seemed they must come from somewhere else." But the DNA told a different story. 

Taos Pueblo like Tibet, Southwest USA (NM)

The University of Texas at Austin's Deborah Bolnick, an expert in extracting ancient DNA from fossilized teeth and bones, got a sample of Naia's mitochondrial DNA [slower changing genetic information], which is inherited exclusively from the mother.

 

Bolnick found a lineage known as D-1 that's found in Northeast Asia (including Siberia, which is North Aisa) and also very common in Native Americans.

What that suggests, Bolnick says, is that the girl is indeed descended from the first humans to cross the land bridge and not some later migration from somewhere else.

 

That means the physical differences between the first "Paleoamericans" and Native Americans of today are the result of evolution since the great migration out of Asia.

Commentary

Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly

From Asia (China and Afghanistan) to California and Mexico (Int'l History Channel)

.

World's most famous Pueblo, Potala, Tibet

As we have noted repeatedly, the Buddhism practiced in Siberia, Russia (as well as Kalmykia, Europe) is Mongolian and Tibetan, with strong native animist and shamanistic influences, deriving from the Buddha's shramana movement in and around India.

 

It traveled up from Central Asia, modern day Afghanistan (part of ancient Gandhara, see the pioneering work of Dr. Ranajit Pal), into ancient Greece and Northern Asia. It is startlingly similar to Native American beliefs and practices, enhanced by visits from Afghan and Chinese Buddhist missionaries to Mexico and California long before the arrival of Columbus, as documented by Edward P. Vining, Hendon M. Harris, and our research on Puebloan Peoples in America. 

 

China's Fusang, our CA, Mexico

The Bering Strait land bridge is not the only route of spiritual ideas, DNA, and Asiatic culture. A great deal of it came directly and intact. 

 

One amazing "coincidence" is the similarity between the megalithic jungle cultures of Buddhist Angkor and other ancient city-states, part of the enormously successful Khmer Empire in modern Cambodia and Thailand, and the megalithic jungle empires of the Maya, Aztecs, Toltecs (see also Toltec Mounds State Archaeological Park), Olmecs, and Incas in Mexico (Mesoamerica) and South America.

Traces of it also existed in the modern "mound building" cultures in the United States, whose enormous size and sophistication (as well as being gigantic as individuals) make them part of "forbidden archaeology" as exposed by Dr. Michael Cremo.

Ancient Mesoamerica (pre-Spanish invasion) included parts of California, the USA, Mexico, Belize, the Mayan Empire, Guatemala (named after Gautama Buddha, according Rick Fields' accounts, Swans)... See detail

(LiveScience.com) Construction work in eastern Mexico exposed an ancient settlement, including 30 skeletons and the ruins of a pyramid, believed to be up to 2,000 years old, archaeology officials announced.

 

At the site of the graves in the town of Jaltipan, southeast of Veracruz, archaeologists also found clay figurines, jade beads, mirrors, and animal remains, according to the National Anthropology and History Institute (INAH).

 

Researchers believe the settlement was occupied from around the first century A.D. until A.D. 600 or 700. Little is known about the people who lived there. The skeletons are set to be analyzed so that researchers can learn about how they were treated for burial. More

T-Rex was a killer Naga

Robert Lee Hotz (Wall Street Journal)

Fossil evidence (Fallon E. Cohen/WSJ)

A fossil from a failed kill 65 million years ago offers the first direct evidence that Tyrannosaurus rex did indeed hunt down its prey, putting to rest recent arguments over whether the massive dinosaur may have been a scavenger, scientists said today.

 

Nagas (nothingbutdinosaurs.com)

In the sandstone of South Dakota, researchers discovered the distinctive crown of a Tyrannosaurus tooth, serrated like a steak knife, wedged in the spine of a 4-ton plant-eater called a hadrosaurus that once roamed the American West. 

 

The backbone, moreover, had grown over the tooth, indicating the animal had healed and likely lived for years after the encounter, the researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. More

Dr. Swift with some of the Acambaro figures

ACAMBARO, Mexico - In 1944 a German man, Waldemar Julsrud, was hiking when he found an ancient figure. Hundreds more figurines were found by laborer Odilon Tinajero, who was sent out to search the area -- eventually 30,000 pieces in all.
  
Aside from similarities to known Mesoamerican styles, such as that of the Chupicuaro Indians, there were figurines that could not be placed in any culture or time:
 
Mesozoic-era pterodactyls and other dinosaurs (before particular species, such as Brontosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex, were publicly displayed in museums and widely known), chimeras, an alien Grey (at Minute 0:42), Sumerians, ancient Egyptians, bearded Caucasians, seahorses, turtles, anteaters, llamas, camels, complex architectural structures, strange social scenes such as a man playing with a giant monkey, women flirting with reptiles [nagas making hybrids], and animals with six arms.
  

  
Moreover, many figures had Egyptian, east Indian, or African features. Mesozoic-era creatures were interacting with humans (just as archeologist Michael Cremo asserts). There were giants. Bipedal apes or a six-fingered creature that appears to be a Bigfoot are also depicted. Predictably, The Smithsonian squelched the entire find. More 

Creationism?

Because scientists dissemble, make mistakes, and are often wrong does not mean turning to "infallible" faith is any kind of solution. The Smithsonian and its scientists certainly are not candid about all their finds. The best things are hidden.
  
What does not fit in with current theory is hidden away and denied -- such as skeletal giants. This does not make the world 6,000 years old or Biblical accounts any more accurate than a biased historical text (in parts). Certainly the world's sacred texts, upon which the Bible is based (Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, etc.), have something important to say that biased "scientists" scoff at or are financially induced to dismiss and discredit.
   
Better sources than the Christian Bible exist for understanding the world as it actually is -- not as we feel comfortable in imagining it. The Vedas are a priceless source of information. Sumerian tablets, indigenous aboriginal and Indian lore, and other archeological finds are precious. Evolutionary is certainly mistaken, in spite of being empirical and dependable in certain respects; creationism is preposterous in some respects and yet correct in other, as much as it pains intelligent and educated modern people to imagine it.
  
The professional skeptics are wrong. The professional clergy are misleading. Take from both, leave the rest, keep an open mind, and remember we are responsible for our education, knowledge, and wisdom not others. If these things utterly depended on others, we would be doomed worse than the Kalamas in the Kalama Sutra.
  
Here are two impossible-but-true things for science buffs and religious fundamentalist to scoff at. "Modern" Homo sapien sapiens existed millions of years ago, and somewhere within this planet dinosaur forms exist now. Looking into Michael Cremo and Admiral Richard Byrd's work is a start.

Buddhism in Mexico (Budismo)

Wisdom Quarterly and Budismo.com

America is not synonymous with the United States, although we use it that way. America is a continent with northern, central, and southern sections. The economic dominance of one part of the north has led to US hegemony (social influence) and military control and distorted the world's view of Americans. Mexico is just to the south of the US because the US stole many parts of Mexico including world-famous California. Just as Buddhism intrigues US citizens, citizens of Mexico and the rest of the Americas are embracing the Dharma. Of course, Buddhism in ancient Mexico and Mesoamerica goes much further back than it does in the US. Particularly striking is the Eagle-men versus Snake-men warring, popular in both Aztec and Buddhist mythology and central to the founding of Mexico and its flag. And there is also the adoration of GuanYin/Guadalupe. Budismo en espanol is no longer limited to Spain.

Budismo General

Más de la mitad de la población mundial vive en países que han recibido una gran influencia de las ideas y prácticas budistas. Sin embargo, desde los tiempos de Buda -- quinientos años antes de la aparición del cristianismo -- hasta mitad del siglo XX en Occidente no se sabía casi nada acerca del Budismo.

El Budismo se extiende a occidente
No obstante, a mediados del siglo XX esta situación empezó a cambiar, y se dice que hoy en día el budismo es una de las religiones que con más rapidez se extiende en Occidente.

El Budismo
¿Qué es el Budismo? Normalmente consideramos que la religión es creer en Dios, o mejor dicho, en creer en cualquiera de sus manifestaciones divinas; sin embargo, en el Budismo no se habla de Dios alguno. Mas



VALLE DE BRAVO, Mexico - In December 2010, a longtime dream of H.E. Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche was realized with the internal consecration of the Great Stupa for World Peace at the Chamma Ling retreat center, Mexico.

This huge, sacred structure represents all paths to enlightenment. It is hoped that its presence will help remove obstacles and discord and bring peace and happiness to Mexico and the world.

Among the hundreds of participants at the consecration were Yongdzin Rinpoche, the most senior teacher of the Bon Buddhist tradition of Tibet.

Also in attendance were Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung Rinpoche, abbot of Triten Norbutse Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal; Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, spiritual director of Ligmincha Institute; Bon Buddhist masters; representatives of other Buddhist traditions; as well as local native shamans.
