We have spectacular views of Mexican archeological sites for tourists, like Teotihuacan (pictured here) with its Pyramid of the Moon and Pyramid of the Sun. But the Mesoamerican site of Cholula remains largely unexcavated, undiscovered, unexposed to the public. An insulting imperial Catholic church placed on top of it by the Conquistadores (European "Conquerors" from Spain) remains undisturbed making the erasure almost complete.
(Ambrose Discovery and 5 more) Nov. 8, 2026: Under a grassy hill in the town of Puebla, Mexico, with a colonial Catholic church place on top a large "hill" sits the largest pyramid ever found on Earth, the biggest by volume, nearly twice the size of the Great Pyramid at Giza.
The Great Pyramid of Cholula (Nahuatl Tlachihualtepetl or "Constructed Mountain") is a the world's largest pyramid and a massive archeological complex located in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. It is the largest pyramid, the largest temple, and the largest archeological site in the world.
The Cholula pyramid is the largest by total volume, almost twice the size as that of Giza, as far as is yet officially known to exist on Earth today [1, 2].
[NOTE: Possibly larger pyramids have been spotted on Mars, the moon, in formerly Hindu-Buddhist Indonesia, China, and in Bosnia, Europe.]
Why does communist China not tell world of its many derelict pyramids sitting in rice fields?
The adobe brick pyramid stands 82 feet (25 meters) [3] above the surrounding plain, shorter than the Pyramid of Giza's height of 481 feet (146.6 meters) but far wider, measuring 984 by 1,033 feet (300 x 315 meters) in its final form [3], compared to Giza's base dimensions of 756 x 756 feet (230.3 by 230.3 meters) [4]. The Cholula pyramid is an ancient temple traditionally viewed as having been dedicated to the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl [5]. The architectural style of the building is 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 in Veracruz [6].

Where's the Mexican Cholula pyramid and wonder of the world? Buried in that hill under an imperial Catholic Church that sought to hide it from the Old World
Pyramid site too large to draw, buried by invaders to hide it like Buddhist Borobudur
This documentary follows the legend of hidden tunnels even the conquering Spanish found and documented, secret chambers, confiscated OOPAs (out-of-place artifacts and) tools and a mysterious mural of Los Bebedores de Cholula("The Drinkers [of pulque] of Cholula"). And each claim is set beside what archeologists officially claim to have found.
See how a mountain made by hand grew over 1,000 years,
why 8 kilometers of tunnels were [dug in ancient times but are now said to have been] dug in the 1930s,
