Why are pyramids built all over the world? New pyramids are being found all over the world! Documentary film "revelations of the pyramids"

Everyone knows about the famous pyramids of Egypt. Their sheer mass and precise engineering suggest an alien origin. The builders turned to the pyramids not only of antiquity, but also of times closer to us. Here are the facts about 10 lesser-known pyramids that deserve the same attention as the Egyptian ones.

Jack Fuller's Pyramid

The pyramids of Egypt were tombs and monuments for the pharaohs of Egypt. Most people prefer something more modest for their place of eternal rest, a man nicknamed "Mad Jack" Fuller entered the story. He in 1777, at the age of 20, inherited a large estate in England and slave plantations in Jamaica. Jack was known for his strange antics and difficult character. He loved to build and decided to build a pyramid for himself in the local cemetery. His tomb was a masterpiece, the body was supposed to be on a special table under the dome, and the glass was removed in case the Devil came for him.

Pyramid in the shape of a pointed German helmet from the First World War

Pickelhaum, the pointed German helmet of World War I soldiers, became synonymous with the enemy "Hun". When First World War ended, the winners had to receive a symbol to demonstrate their triumph. In New York, it was decided that a pyramid would be built from captured German helmets.
The hollow pyramid was covered with 12 thousand pickelbaubs. The pyramid was used as a fundraising site in Victory Way. Visitors were encouraged to donate money to the 5th War Credit to help pay off the US debt. To emphasize the Allied victory, the pyramid was topped with a winged figure, which was probably meant to represent the goddess of victory, Nike.

Bend Pyramid

We think that the Egyptian pyramids are perfect. But among the famous pyramids of Egypt, there are some that are less perfect. The earliest pyramids were not smooth, but consisted of layers stacked on top of each other.
Sneferu's pyramid is unusual for another reason. While most pyramids in Egypt have sides that slope at about 51 degrees, Sneferu's pyramid has slopes that change halfway, from 55 to 43 degrees. This led to Snefer's pyramid being known to most people as the "flexible pyramid".
The design of the pyramid is mysterious. It appears to have been done in three stages as the walls actually change angle three times. Experts thought that somewhere in the tangled structure there might be a secret room where Sneferu was still buried. Using cosmic rays to probe the pyramid's internal structure, researchers were unable to find any significant secret rooms.

Pyramids of Brazil

Since pyramids have been found in ancient cultures all over the world, there are some scientists who believe that the cultures must be connected in some way.
In fact, the pyramid is simply one of the most simple ways build a tall structure. Despite the superficial similarities, there are huge differences between how the pyramids were built in different places. The pyramids of Egypt were made of huge stone blocks, and the pyramids of Brazil were made of shells.
The Brazilian pyramids have been dated to around 3000 BC and are therefore older than the earliest Egyptian pyramids. The Brazilian pyramids appear to have been built over decades or centuries.
At first they were mistaken for mountains of garbage by scientists, as they were made of shells. Partly because they were not recognized as important historical monuments, less than 10 percent of Brazil's pyramids now survive. They were dismantled by people building roads.

Pyramids of Alexander Hunger

Not all pyramids are ancient sites associated with death. Many "alternative" researchers believe that pyramid shapes have mysterious powers. To explore the so-called pyramidal power, Alexander Golod built a series of pyramids near Moscow.
The Pyramids of Hunger are completely modern. They are made of metal and fiberglass. During the construction of 20 pyramids, Hunger was able to explore their capabilities.
He discovered: pyramids increase the human immune system, seeds placed in the pyramid give more harvest, pyramids restore the ozone layer and cure impotence. Scientists did not take these data seriously.
The largest Pyramid of Hunger was over 45 meters high and weighed 55 tons. Despite big sizes, in 2017, when a hurricane hit Moscow, the pyramid collapsed under its influence.

Pyramid of Koh Ker

In the jungles of Cambodia lies the ancient city of Kokher. The city was once the capital of the Khmer Empire, after the more famous Angkor. Although Angkor attracts many tourists, Koh Ker is less popular.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that most of Koh Khera remains hidden in densely populated areas, and mines remain from the conflicts that plagued Cambodia in the 20th century. Those who reach Koh Ker can see the pyramid there. The pyramid is built without any mortar or concrete, and the entire structure is supported by its own weight.
Since the pyramid's stairs are destroyed, anyone who wants to reach the top must use wooden steps, which were recently added. It is believed that there is a hidden entrance to the underground pyramid. Until it is discovered, visitors will have to keep busy viewing the carvings on the outside of the pyramid.

Pyramids of La Quemada

La Quemada is an archaeological site in Mexico with some mysterious past. Experts cannot agree on who the people were, who built them and why.
The site consists of various structures installed on a hill. Among them are several pyramids.
Most of the pyramid structures discovered in Mexico are huge and hill-shaped. La Quemada's pyramids are steep and strong.
At the top of the Virgin Pyramid there was a small temple where sacrifices were made to the gods. It is assumed that another pyramid - the "Sacrificial Pyramid" - was for human sacrifices, they were thrown down the stairs.
Newly discovered bones have provided evidence that the people of La Quemada may have eaten the bodies of their enemies. Carved marks found on some of the bones are consistent with cannibalism. Skulls with holes in them have also been found, which could have been used to display heads, possibly on pyramids.

Pyramid of Cestius

The pyramids of Egypt were thousands of years old by the time the Roman Empire arose. It seems that at least one Roman visiting Egypt was so amazed by the pyramids that he wanted his own.
Built between 18 and 12 BC, the pyramid of Gaius Cestius seems like an odd addition. In fact, there was once a great pyramid in Rome, but it was dismantled in the 16th century for building materials. The pyramid of Cestius probably survived because it was later incorporated into the defensive walls of the city.
The pyramid of Cestius, which was his tomb, has much steeper sides than the Egyptian pyramids. It is possible that the Roman engineers felt they could improve on the Egyptian models by using Roman concrete. Little is known about Cestius, who built the pyramid, but his tomb became a must for visitors to Rome for centuries.

Argolid pyramids

In the second century AD, the ancient Greek writer Pausanias wrote a description of the places people would want to visit in Greece. He writes: “On the road from Argos to Epidauria there is a building on the right, made very similar to a pyramid, and on it, in relief, are forged shields of the Argive form.” There are currently no traces of this pyramid, but there are others in Greece that survive.
At Hellinikon there are the ruins of a small pyramid made of stone. In the past, historians believed that this pyramid was the tomb described by Pausanias. However, modern archeology has proven that it had a completely different use.
Despite its design, the pyramid was actually a defensive structure. There were guards in the pyramid who watched the road and which went beyond its limits.

Sudanese pyramids

If you think of a country with pyramids, you probably immediately think of Egypt. In fact, there is a country that has twice as many pyramids as Egypt, and it is right next door.
Sudan is home to the ancient Nubian pyramids. The ancient Egyptian kingdom once extended far to the south, where modern Sudan is located. It is believed that the Nubians who lived there built their pyramids in imitation of their Egyptian neighbors.
The Nubians first built their pyramids around 700 BC, almost 2,000 years after the Egyptians. The Nubians also built their pyramids on a smaller scale. Instead of burying their dead inside pyramids, as the Egyptians did, the Nubians buried their dead under the pyramid.
Over the years, the pyramids of Sudan suffered from people raiding Construction Materials, but they are now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
They are also the center of the tourism industry in Sudan.

Pyramids are certainly one of the most mysterious structures on our planet. Perhaps nothing compares with their grandeur and the precision of their execution. But only today is it understood that the meaning of these religious buildings extends far beyond the concepts of official science - such as tombs, “grain storage barns” or even religious temples.

Many scientists agree that these buildings are the oldest receivers and transmitters of information. And there is obviously some part of truth in this. But most likely not all of it. The real possibilities and goals of creating these structures are much broader and more functional. It seems that these were also excellent power plants - accumulating and generating electricity. energy due to their design and the material from which they were mainly built. Granite, marble, concrete slabs of silicon sand - served as resonators with external vibrations of the Planet and Space. A g lina, limestone, brick - were used as insulating material. If we delve deeper, then, of course, at first a difference was created in the potential of more subtle energy plays - called high-frequency static / direct current. And only then, through transformer devices(which are depicted in large numbers on the walls interior spaces some of the pyramids), served on various technical devices household and industrial purposes - from lighting lamps to electrolytic devices and sawmill and grinding equipment...

By the way, at that time there was no need to use special wires for transporting electricity. energy. Transmitting and receiving resonators were used - based on the same internal structure substances and external form. Substance - identical content + exact proportions metal alloys. Shapes - spheres, crosses, cubes, etc. - including pyramidal shapes. But that's another story. Which we'll talk about another time.

In the meantime, let's return to the topic of the pyramids themselves and their purpose.

So, according to another version, the pyramids were built as pyramidal lenses - to concentrate the output/input of energy from/from the Earth and Space. And they were not built randomly - but strictly along certain energy lines and the intersections of their nodes.

So if we consider the Earth itself as a crystal, then the pyramids were built on the “tops” of the corners of this crystal. For example:

Simply put, the pyramids were built to stabilize the Earth's magnetic field. All pyramids were located at certain points on the Earth to change the electromagnetic flow passing through them. In other words, the pyramid itself is nothing more than an ordinary lens that modulates the flows passing through it. Feeding the energy fields of the Earth and preventing the movement of the lithosphere.

Although, to be absolutely precise, the pyramids did not change the electromagnetic flow itself, but the gravitational and its adjacent levels - being like a funnel with the wide part facing downwards to capture the gravitational radiation of the Earth and concentrate the radiation at the top. Happening here physical interactions, which are still little mastered by modern science. Academic scientists have yet to tackle this issue, since in the scientific world it is customary to ignore facts if they cannot yet be explained. And, by the way, the pyramids were not necessarily built from beginning to end. Often, a suitable hill was used, which was covered with the necessary construction and installation material - giving it the desired pyramidal shape.

And it is worth SEPARATELY EMPHASIZING A VERY IMPORTANT POINT: most of the pyramid complexes are absolutely precisely tied to the main “reference points” of the Orion constellation (most often to the Orion belt). And this gives some researchers reason to insist on the theory of “Orion enslavement of the Earth.” And already in this version, the theory of a Planet unbalanced by pyramids comes into conflict with the opinion of those who insist on the stabilizing role of these same pyramids.

As always, the Truth seems to be somewhere in the middle. That is, the pyramids were built. in its various forms, for all purposes - at the same time: and as capacitors-power stations-energy transmitters; and as receivers and transmitters of information - both within the Earth and nearby and deep space; and as stations for body rejuvenation and organ regeneration; and as teleportation stations for objects and bodies of people/gods themselves. And this was a widespread phenomenon in ancient times.

Therefore, pyramids were built not only in Egypt. They were built and survived to varying degrees throughout the world. Both on the surface, and underground, and under water. And even on other planets and their satellites.

And to confirm all of the above, I will give photos of specific objects-artifacts - pyramids - on different continents - in different countries world:

Let’s begin our journey through the countries of the world:

As expected, the already well-known pyramids of Egypt are aperitif:

And this is Mars:

On Kola Peninsula Russia, Murmansk region, next to the famous Seydozero lake rises a mountain called Ninchurt (“ninch” - female breasts, and “urt” - mountain range, massif). The lake got its name from the Sami “seid” - “sacred stone in which the soul of a shaman dwells.” The indigenous local Sami people also call this area Luyavrchorr, which translates as “Mountains at the Lake of Strength”.

At first glance, it may seem that these are completely natural rock formations, and if so, then great, the article is published under the heading “hypothesis”, and is for informational purposes only, not claiming anything more. However, with a more detailed study of the geographical surroundings of Krasnoyarsk (Russia), quite interesting details begin to emerge.

El Brujo - an area in Peru, on the very shore of the Pacific Ocean, where archaeological excavations were carried out and where real ancient stone pyramids are located. Near the Chicama River in the La Libertad region, and thirty kilometers north of Trujillo, Magdalena de Cao district. In 100 - 750 AD, the Moche culture lived here, but the buildings themselves allegedly date back to 2500 BC. The paintings on the walls are quite well preserved; drawings and patterns are clearly visible, unlike other objects in these places. As for the proximity of water - the Pacific Ocean and the Chicama River Delta are nearby, everything is obvious.

In the mid-90s of the last century, fragments of 26 structures similar in structure to ancient cult pyramids were found in Greece. Of the twenty-six (although their exact number could not be established, they often refer to the definition of “at least five or six”) the best preserved pyramid is near the village of Helliniko, on the southeastern edge of the Argolid Plain.

To quote Wikipedia:

Pyramid of Cestius(Italian: Piramide di Caio Cestio or Italian. Pyramide Cestia) is an ancient Roman mausoleum in the shape of an irregular pyramid on the Aventine in Rome, next to the Porta San Paolo.

The pyramid is located at the fork of two ancient roads: the Ostian and another leading west to the Tiber River approximately along the modern Via della Marmorata. Built between 18 and 12 AD. BC e. for Gaius Cestius Epulon, magistrate and member of one of the four great Roman priestly colleges, Septemviri Epulonum. It is a perfectly preserved structure made of concrete, lined with brick and marble. The height is 125 Roman feet (or 36.4 meters), the length of the base is 100 Roman feet (30 meters). Inside the pyramid there is a crypt 5.95 m long, 4.10 m wide and 4.80 m high. Nearby is a non-Catholic cemetery with the graves of Shelley, Keats and Bryullov.

The Begazin pyramid is a unique architectural pyramidal “mausoleum”, it was discovered in the steppe Kazakhstan near the city of Karaganda in 2016.According to one of the official versions, Saryarka pyramid, as it is also called, belongs to the Begazy-Dandybaev culture, the Late Bronze Age, and was erected in Saryarka more than 3000 years ago, supposedly for the kagan (leader) of a local powerful tribe.

In the heart of the capital of Peru, in the 9 million metropolis of Lima, one of the largest cities in South America, located on the arid Pacific coast, there are two huge stone pyramids, Huaca Pucllana and Huaca Huallamarca. Historical information There is very little about them, at least I don’t particularly want to copy and paste what I found on the RuNet, so who and when built them, let’s say, is unknown.

The pyramids of Huaca del Sol (Temple of the Sun) and Huaca de la Luna (Temple of the Moon) are located on the Pacific coast of Peru near the city of Trujillo, and also relatively close to the pyramids in the valley Lambayeque, the previous article is dedicated to them.

Coordinates:

Huaca del Sol 8° 7"54.67"S 78°59"41.52"W
Huaca de la Luna 8° 8"5.00"S 78°59"25.58"W

When exactly were the Tucume pyramids built in the valley? They will tell you Lambayeque, as usual, with great reserve. According to one version, their construction is attributed totribes that replaced the Mochica culture, approximately in the X-XI centuries, that is, we are dealing (again, I repeat, most likely) with the Sican civilization, the history of which has already been found on our website in research materials about the 11th century. Djealous city of 26 pyramidsTucume (Túcume) local residents also call " Purgatory"(Spanish) Purgatorio), AndThis amazing archaeological complex is located near the city of Chiclayo on the northern Pacific coast.

Pyramid of Akapana (Tiwanaku, Tiwanaku), Bolivia, South America.

In the Aymara language, the word "akapana" translates to the place where people die. Well, a completely logical name, given the analogies with the ancient archaeological heritage “Egyptian Book of the Dead”, “Road of the Dead” in Teotihuacan, Mohenjo-Daro - “hill of the dead”, Bald Mountain - the Sabbath of Witches and so on. Apparently, it is not without reason that modern archeology and history created such unattractive labels in order to scare away the interest of the curious and students. But let's return to Tiahuanaco, which is Pyramid of Akapana- this is a 15-meter mound, with a base side measuring about 200 meters, with a three-stage projection with a wide side facing east and a narrow side facing west.

Cholula- an ancient Toltec city in Mexico, which acquired world name thanks to the huge pyramid, which has the second name Tlachihualtepetl (Nahuatl translated as “man-made mountain”). The name speaks for itself, the pyramid in Cholula is the most massive in all of Mexico, its length at the base is 440 m and its height is 77 meters. By the way, in volume it exceeds even the Egyptian

Ancient pyramids never cease to amaze us with new sensations. It turns out that the pyramids currently known to us are far from the only ones of their kind. IN last years, thanks to the latest technologies, scientists continue to find new giant pyramids, not only in Egypt, but all over the world! We will tell you about the most significant and interesting finds.

Egypt

Of course, Egypt remains the leader in newly discovered pyramids. On this ancient land, new pyramidal structures are discovered with enviable regularity, and this happens thanks to the study of satellite images.

In May 2011, the community of Egyptian pyramids was expanded by as many as 17 objects! Previously unknown pyramids were discovered using infrared satellite imagery, which makes visible objects located under a layer of river silt or sand. Thanks to this study of the Nile floodplain, scientists discovered 17 pyramids, more than a thousand burials and about three thousand ancient settlements, which are located relatively shallow under a layer of silt and are not visible to the naked eye. Excavations are currently underway in the area, and the existence of two of the 17 pyramids has already been confirmed.

Another discovery was made quite recently - in August 2012. Thanks to satellite images, two pyramid complexes were spotted in the Abu Sidum area at a distance of 145 km from each other. The discovery was made by archaeologist Angela Micol, who spent several years studying photographs of the Earth's surface. In the first complex, several mounds and a gigantic triangular-shaped object, 200 m wide, are clearly visible.

If it is confirmed that this is indeed a pyramid, then it will become a new sensation, because its dimensions are larger than the famous pyramid of Cheops. The second proposed complex consists of a 42 m wide pyramid and three mounds standing diagonally, as in the Giza complex.

Until now, all the pyramids known to us were located near Cairo, and if studies of the area confirm the discoveries of Angela Micol, it will truly become a sensation. An expedition led by Angela and Egyptologist Nabil will soon set off to study these objects.

Bosnia

In 2005, independent researcher Semir Osmanagic stated that Mount Visocica, located near the town of Visoko, is actually a pyramid and is of artificial origin. Soil studies confirmed this theory, and since then the whole world has been talking about the Bosnian pyramids.

Further geodetic studies showed that the Pyramid of the Sun, as it was later called, has a clear orientation to the cardinal points, like the Egyptian pyramids. Its northern side faces the North Star. The angles formed by the faces of the pyramid are absolutely straight and equal. In addition, around the pyramid, on all its sides, during excavations, massive stone slabs were found, clearly not of natural origin. Analysis of these slabs showed that they were made of a substance similar to concrete, the composition of which is unknown to us.

Subsequently, not far from the first pyramid, four more were discovered, next to which the same ones are invariably found concrete blocks and many other artifacts. Excavations in the Visočica area are still ongoing. Many world experts who have visited there confirm that all these finds are of man-made origin. It is assumed that the age of these pyramids is 10-12 thousand years.

Indonesia

A similar story recently occurred in Indonesia, where German scientists discovered that Mount Sedehurip, long known to local residents, has a clearly visible pyramid shape. The pyramid is located in the west of the island of Java and is estimated to be about the same age as the Bosnian pyramids - about 10 thousand years. Mount Sedehurip clearly stands out in shape from all the surrounding hills.

During the excavations, stone slabs with unfamiliar inscriptions and images were discovered. The height of the pyramid is 200 meters, and according to scientists, the discovery of this pyramid is no less important than the discovery of the pyramids in Bosnia. Simir Osmanagic himself spoke quite positively about this: “Pyramids have been discovered in Bosnia, Egypt, Central America, China - they are on every continent, in all parts of the world - who said that they cannot be in Indonesia?!”

It is believed that the pyramid was built ancient civilization Sandanis, who lived in these territories. So far, excavations have just begun, but scientists assume that many artifacts will be found that will confirm the relationship of the Bosnian pyramids and the Sedehuri pyramid. Currently, about 1,000 people are working on pyramid research, but no significant results have yet been published. In the near future, scientists plan to use satellite and geo-electrical technology to study the pyramid.

Crimea

Now let's move closer to our realities, to the territory of the Crimean peninsula. In one of the districts of Sevastopol, while searching for underground reserves of thermal waters, at a depth of 10 meters, drillers stumbled upon a real pyramid. The drilling site was initially chosen on the basis that there was an epicenter of powerful microwave radiation with a radius of 100 m. Now the nature of this radiation has become clear.

Researchers V.A. Goh and V. Taran, having received a certificate of scientific discovery and carried out accessible excavations, discovered that the pyramid was filled to the top as a result of the flood. This is evidenced by the fact that pebbles, silt and loams were found during the excavations. After this discovery, researchers using geoholography and geohydrodiagnostics discovered 30 more supposed pyramids.

It was also found that the faces of the excavated pyramid contained gypsum, lead and liquid glass, as well as copper oxide. As you know, the Egyptian pyramids have the same composition in their outer layer.

Goh and Taran suggest that the Crimean pyramids were built at the same time as the Egyptian ones. However, archaeologists are in no hurry to acknowledge the discoveries of enthusiasts, and therefore do not plan professional excavations in this area. Indeed, according to their theory, during the times ancient egypt there was a sea on the territory of Crimea.

Tibet

And finally, the most controversial peak, fighting for the right to be called a pyramid, is the famous Tibetan Mount Kailash. Its pyramidal shape is also clearly visible, and its edges are oriented to the cardinal points. The mountain is the highest peak in its area, and it has not yet been conquered. In the ancient religions of Nepal and China, Kailash is considered sacred, and numerous pilgrims protest against its conquest. In religious texts about the mountain, the following is written: “No mortal dares to climb the mountain where the gods live; whoever sees the faces of the gods must die.”

Traveler and explorer Ernst Muldashev, who made an expedition to Mount Kailash, noticed that if you draw an imaginary straight line through Kailash to the center of the Earth, it will cross Easter Island. And besides, Kailash is located on the same meridian as Easter Island and the Egyptian pyramids. In his opinion, all the smaller mountains surrounding Kailash are also ancient pyramids. According to the famous ophthalmologist-traveler, the entire Earth is covered with a network of pyramids, which were built by ancient civilization according to strictly defined rules and lines.

Of course, Muldashev’s research is not recognized by the scientific world and is considered pseudo-scientific, but who knows, perhaps further discoveries of pyramids previously unknown to us will confirm this theory?

But we invite you not to wait for scientific minds to argue about the mysterious pyramidal structures and for them to understand their true purpose, but to find the answers yourself. This is much easier to do than it seems - you can find unique ancient knowledge, published for the first time, in the amazing books of Anastasia Novykh “Sensei”. You will have access to not only explanations of many mysteries of human civilization, but also ancient prophecies regarding the future of Humanity!

The most famous pyramids in the world

Small, but a lot!

It may seem that since Egypt and Sudan are neighboring countries, it means that the pyramids of Giza and the pyramids of Meroe have the same “authorship”. This is wrong. Sudanese cultural monuments, buried in the sands, although they are royal tombs, were erected by residents of the ancient state of Kush in the 7th-6th centuries BC. Almost fifty pyramids - large and small - are the resting places of rulers and their subjects who held high positions under the king. And, of course, the pyramids of Meroe, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, are not at all like the Egyptian ones.

Opened at the end of the twentieth century

Canary Islands - it seems that this paradise should have long ago become a Mecca for tourists, however, they also have untrodden paths and mysterious corners. Just a quarter of a century ago, the great traveler Thor Heyerdahl discovered a sextet of pyramids on one of the islands - Tenerife. Residents of the village of Guimar did not pay attention to these bulky structures, not suspecting that the pyramids were a monument of ancient architecture. Now a park called the “Pyramids of Guimar” has been opened around the giants made of volcanic rocks. Heyerdahl himself expressed the opinion that the ancient islanders (Guanches) built the pyramids. And other scientists discovered: their location and shape are not accidental: the edges of each pyramid from these six are oriented in a special way.

Dedicated to the “dancing god”

The main dome of the Indian Brihadeshvara Temple is made in the shape of a pyramid. Its height is about 60 meters. The construction of this sanctuary, dedicated to Shiva, began at the end of the 10th century and took only 25 years. For such magnificence - just a record time! Despite the fact that crowds of pilgrims and tourists flock here every year, the entrance to the temple treasury is closed - for centuries it has been accumulating offerings from the rich to the “dancing god”.

Half an hour from Mexico City

The Pyramid of the Sun is the name given to this 64-meter-tall colossus by the Aztecs, who discovered it in the abandoned ancient city of Teotihuacan at the beginning of the 13th century. This attraction is located near Mexico City (just a little over 40 kilometers away), its base is only 3% inferior to the Cheops Pyramid, which puts it in third place (largest) in the list of all known pyramids in the world. The pyramid was subjected to thorough research in the 20th century and it was found that its construction began at the beginning of the 2nd century AD.

In the impenetrable jungle

In Guatemala there is an ancient Mayan city (according to scientists, the largest that once existed), El Mirador. It was inhabited in the 6th century BC and completely abandoned in the 9th century. The ruins of this once majestic metropolis were discovered relatively recently - in 1926 (the fact is that the ruins are located in the impenetrable jungle). The local group of pyramids differs from its “sisters” in that it looks like a huge green mountain, completely covered with vegetation. One pyramid (El Tigre) reaches 51 m in height, the other (La Danta) - 72 m.

Las Vegas gigantomania

There is also a modern one in our list of the most famous pyramids of the planet - this is the Luxor Hotel, impressive in its size (1.228 million cubic meters of volume) and livability. This glittering pyramid towers in the Nevada desert - it was built in just a year and a half. A chic 110-meter hotel opened its doors to tourists in 1993, when the Las Vegas authorities fell ill with gigantomania. If the Las Vegas Sphinx is larger than the original, then this copy is inferior to its ancient counterpart in terms of parameters. But the hotel is full of life: more than 2.5 thousand rooms, a luxurious casino, many halls, restaurants, cafes and a disco club.

They were ordered by the founder of the “pyramid builders” dynasty.

Another Egyptian pyramid, built in the 26th century BC in Dahshur, belongs to the oldest pyramids that have survived to this day. The limestone hulk was slightly worn out - its initial height reached almost 105 m, now it is 101.1 m. It received its name (Broken Pyramid) for unusual shape– it is assumed that the builders changed the angle of the walls after the accident. In addition, this pyramid has two entrances - not only in the north, but also a “spare”, in the west.

The customer of the so-called Pink Pyramid was the same pharaoh who ordered the construction of the Lomanaya, the great Snefru. It was he who laid the foundation for a dynasty that went down in history as the "builders of the pyramids" (according to the account, it was IV). According to various sources, he headed the state from a quarter of a century to 29 years. Pink - the largest in the Dahshur necropolis (sometimes it is also called Red). The base of the curiosity reaches 220 m, and the height is 104 m (initially it was 109 m). Due to the fact that the white limestone cladding was removed for other purposes, the underlying layer, which has a pink tint, became visible.

Like a grandiose children's construction set

The first place in the world in terms of volume (but not in height - in this it is inferior to the Cheops pyramid) is occupied by the Great Pyramid of Cholula. Due to the amazing 4.45 million cubic meters of “internal space”, the colossus was included in the Guinness Book of Records. But when they began to conduct a detailed study, they discovered: this is not one pyramid, but a whole ensemble: new parts were gradually attached to the base, as if in children's construction set. This unusual pyramid stands in the Mexican town of Cholula and resembles a picturesque mountain, on the top of which a temple is perched. It is unknown who is the author of such a powerful architectural miracle; scientists have only found out that these places were inhabited around the 3rd century BC.
