Cholula

This is the world’s largest pyramid.

image

See it?

image

It’s under the church.

image

Use your x-ray vision to look under all the trees.

image

A bit has been excavated and reconstructed on the other side.

image

But it still mostly looks like a hill.

image

When they clear off the vegetation they find the rounded bit in front, and then they have to reconstruct to get the nice clean pyramid in the background.

image

But they can’t do too much of that here because there’s a fancy church in the way.

image

With a lot of gold

image

So most of the archeology happens underground

image

In tunnels

image

From the church there are good views of the town

image

And all of the other churches
