The tallest pyramid is the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, United States (260 m). However, the largest pyramid in the world is The Great Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico.People often incorrectly believe The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt (138.8 m) to be the tallest pyramid.The Great Pyramid of Cholula is the "Largest" it has a base of 450 by 450 m (1476x1476 ft) and a height of 66 m (217 ft). According to the Guinness Book of Records, it is in fact the largest pyramid as well as the largest monument ever constructed anywhere in the world, with a total volume estimated at over 4.45 million m³, even larger than that of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt which is about 2.5 million m³.

What was the great pyramids of Giza made of?

The pyramid is predominately made of limestone blocks weighing an average of 2.5 tons. This was quarried locally at the base of the pyramid. The waste material from this quarrying was mixed with Tafla (a type of clay) and used to make the ramps used in the construction of the pyramid. There is some evidence to suggest that some of the quarries were filled in with the material from the dismantled ramps when the pyramid was completed. The linings for the passageways and the burial chambers were made from Granite brought from Aswan 400 miles upriver from Giza. The pyramid originally had a smooth casing of white stone from Tura on the east bank of the Nile.
