Steps At The Great Pyramid of Cholula

The Great Pyramid of Cholula is located ten minutes outside of Puebla in Mexico. It has the largest volume of the pre-Columbian pyramids, and is the largest stone monument in the world. Constructed by various groups in four stages over hundreds of years from the 3rd century B.C.E. through the 9th century C.E., this Great Pyramid was dedicated to Quetzalcoatl, the Mesoamerican deity whose name means "feathered serpent."
