Water rising out of the ground in central Mexico made the spot sacred, and the first temple was set over it. Mexico's national institute of anthropology and history, INAH, says the first signs of people here go back more than a thousand years BC. Over the next thousand years and more, that small shrine was buried, rebuilt, buried again and enlarged, until it became the largest pyramid on Earth by volume, and then it disappeared under soil and grass so completely that it looks like a natural hill with a church on top.\n\nThe Great Pyramid of Cholula stands in the state of Puebla, Mexico. Guinness World Records lists it as the largest pyramid in the world by volume, about 4.45 million cubic metres. That is close to twice the volume of the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt, which Guinness puts at about 2.4 million cubic metres, though Khufu is far taller, about 137.5 metres today, and 146.6 by the figure Wikipedia gives. Cholula's genius was not height but spread. It is made mostly of adobe, sun-dried blocks of packed earth stuck together with mud, and the bricks at its base were mixed with pottery, obsidian and gravel so they would pack harder.\n\nThe Toltec-Chichimec people who settled in the area around the twelfth century AD called it Tlachihualtépetl, \"artificial hill\" or \"hill made by hand.\" The name is a piece of honest description. Whoever said it knew this was no hill.\n\nHow big is it, exactly? The figures do not agree, and the disagreement is part of the story. One INAH page gives 450 metres a side. Another says the final pyramid stood on ground of more than 400 metres a side, and a third says the base is almost half a kilometre on each side. Wikipedia and the site card give a final base of about 300 by 315 metres. Guinness gives a base of nearly 16 hectares, about twenty-two football pitches, and a height of 66 metres; INAH gives the last pyramid an average height of almost 65; yet Wikipedia, measuring from the surrounding plain, puts it at only 25 metres. Part of the gap is a question of what counts as the pyramid. INAH notes that the base is only the core of a city whose streets, plazas and houses lie underground across the region, and the archaeological zone of Cholula has been estimated at 154 hectares.\n\nThe way the monument grew explains a good deal. INAH describes three great stages. By the second century BC the first Great Pyramid stood, about 120 metres a side, built at the same time as the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan. A second pyramid followed over it, about 170 metres a side and almost 45 metres high, larger than the Pyramid of the Moon at Teotihuacan. A third was then laid over everything, using a natural rise in the ground. Guinness dates the building and use of the whole from the third century BC to the ninth century AD. It has even been said that the hill holds seven pyramids, one inside another. Each generation, in other words, buried the work of the last and claimed it.\n\nThat habit is a statement of power as much as faith. To build over your predecessors is to keep their sacred ground while erasing their name from its surface. Cholula's later history follows the same pattern of conquest and absorption. The Toltecs took the area. Later the Mexica made Cholula a tributary, a subject town that paid them goods, and an ally against their enemies the Tlaxcalans. INAH says the pyramid may have been dedicated to the water or rain god, Tlaloc, which fits its first purpose: a temple over a spring. In the 16th century a church, Our Lady of the Remedies, was built on top of the mound. It still stands. A new faith had planted itself on the summit of the old, just as each earlier pyramid had planted itself on the one before.\n\nArchaeologists found the buried layers by going inside. In 1931 the architect Ignacio Marquina began exploring the pyramid with a new method: tunnels driven through its core, about eight kilometres of them in all. The work lasted until 1971 and found buried structures, huge amounts of pottery and stone tools, and many wall paintings. The most famous mural shows a crowd of drinkers holding vessels of a whitish liquor that may be pulque, a drink made from fermented agave sap. Inside the man-made mountain, people are still raising their cups.\n\nThe mainstream explanation is straightforward and well supported. Cholula was a long-lived sacred centre, rebuilt by successive generations who each enlarged the shrine of their ancestors. The pyramid is huge because it is old, because adobe can be heaped endlessly, and because a holy place over a spring kept its pull on the people of the valley for well over a thousand years.\n\nWhat remains strange is how much of it is still unknown, and how well it hid. Much of the ancient city lies under the modern town, so any digging for new building needs a rescue excavation first. The size dispute may never be settled, because the monument is not one building but a stack of them. And for centuries the largest pyramid on the planet sat in plain view, mistaken by passers-by for a hill.\n\nThat is the uncomfortable lesson of Cholula. We tend to assume that great monuments announce themselves, that anything so vast would be impossible to miss. Here the opposite happened. A structure nearly twice the volume of the Great Pyramid of Giza, begun at the same time as Teotihuacan's Pyramid of the Sun, grew grass and trees and simply turned back into landscape. If the largest pyramid on Earth could hide in the middle of a town, how many other hills are not what they seem?","qs":["The largest pyramid on Earth was mistaken for a hill.
