Largest Pyramid in the world?

They said the pyramid was 1/2 mile on each side and had almost a step formation with each step at more then 39 meters. It was a humongous pyramid and not a rock formation. I am interested ibn finding out more about this site too. I am pretty sure they said it was guatemala...


The show is on investigation Discovery coming up on the 16th of july. I am setting my DVR to record it. there are two shows back to back that are repeats of the same two episodes. "Why build pyramids? and "Pyramid Builders" I am going to tape both. I think the narrator was a litlte bit goofy but they got in depth inside the pyramids. Showing the passseges and walls. They skipped all over the world and at the end came to that enormous pyramid. It is kind of strange how all over the world at the same time pyramids were popping up everywhere. Makes you think somthing came down and told man what to make all over the place and saw what happened after kind of like sea monkies.

You are correct, it is in Guatemala, and it did say it was 1/2 mile base.

My dear fellows. As I see that your geographical skills are little limited I decide help to improve the info available. CENTRAL AMERICA is a piece of land of about 525,000 square kilometers (little more than 202,000 square miles) between North America and South America. SOUTH AMERICA is a continental mass over 17,000,000 squere kilometers (6,500,000 square miles) due south of Central America. That means we are talking two diferent LAND MASSES. GUATEMALA is located in CENTRAL AMERICA, not in MEXICO neither SOUTH AMERICA. La Danta has a volumen over 2,800,000 cubic meters( 3,660,000 cubic yards), with a height over 252 ft. I expect this info will clear any doubts

the largest pyramid is located in Guatemala, central america, according to National Geographic scientists, they are still digginn on the site, known as "El Mirador", what everybody tought was a hill resulted in the biggest pyramid known on earth. It`s difficult to find information about it on internet 'cause the research is ongoing yet.

The largest pyramid in the world is the Great Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico, the talles is the Great Pyramid of Giza.

A couple of my friends visited and climbed El Mirador in the years 1988 & 2000, respectively. I do believe they both claimed it was the tallest pyramid in the world. I also think it still needs to be completely excavated. Whether it's currently being excavated now, I don't know. Vanderbilt University has done a lot of excavation at other Mayan sites down there, like Dos Pilas.

I, myself have been to Tikal and Palenque. Getting to El Mirador is a couple of days trek thru the jungle with a hired guide. It's a pretty rough endeavor. It's directly north of Tikal probably less than ten miles from the Mexican border. It's a major Mayan city.

Take a look at the structural photos of this pyramid and tell me you don't think it is man-made. There is a lot of political fighting between archaeologists over it.

Based on what we know now the Bosnian hill is just that a hill. It's a fraud created by old Osmie.

There are threads here on the forum which address this issue.

Looks from the photos like the object is man made to me. Have you seen the photos of the blocks in the walls and pathways?

Yes, they come from two sources, the existing medieval structures and misindentified natural structures. If you want to go over all this again. Please find one of the older Bosian pyramid threads.

I like those Chinese pyramids. Especially the Breast Pyramids.

Dooper I'm surprized at you, covetousness? LOL

THAT BOSNIAN HILL COULD BE A PYRAMID UNDER IT. IT LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBLITY. BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GO THERE & DIG TO KNOW FOR A FACT. IT COULD BE JUST A BIG HILL. AS FOR THE BIGGEST & TALLEST PYRAMID IN THE WORLD...... IT IS IN EL TIGRE, GUATEMALA. IT'S CALLED THE TIGRE PYRAMID & IS STILL BEING DISCOVERED. WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY MIGHT FIND THERE. BUT THE SAD VERY VERY SAD THING IS THAT THEY ARE ALREADY MAKING MONEY OFF IT & EXPLOITING IT. LOOK..... YOU CAN GO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF IF YOU ARE IN GOOD SHAPE & READY FOR THE HIKE OF YOUR LIFE. FOR ABOUT $2000-$3000 YOU CAN VISIT THE BIGGEST & TALLLEST PYRAMID IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD NO BULLCRAP...... HERE IS THE LINK...
