  • The Pyramid of Cholula is the largest pyramid in the world and located just more over 6 km west of the city of Puebla in Mexico. It’s not as tall as the Great Pyramid of Egypt, but it’s footprint is almost 3 times the size, measuring 300 by 315 metres, meaning the volume is far greater.

      Catholics call themselves Christians, but they do not represent Christianity. They think that they do and they want to, but they don't. The pope is a far cry from Christ. They practice many things that directly go against the Bible, and they even changed the 10 commandments to fit their purpose.

      I think what you’re missing here is the fact that on the apex of that massive pyramid Spanish conquistadors built a small cathedral to stifle the old religion. that Cathedral is now protected! Excavating the hundreds and tons of earth that has accumulated around the pyramid and on top would surely Destroy that tiny cathedral that’s holding some sort of value for Catholicism. It’s what the nation wants to do about the archaeological excavation of the pyramid which probably holds plenty of secrets since it’s five pyramids built over one another…

    Then again, La Danta is built on a originally natural hill they shaped up so so it is possible that it depends how you count.

      Was the sign of Cain a Lion. Cain worshipped Jehovah God. He offered sacrifices to him. So did Jehovah forgive him by marking his land with the Lion. The Mark of Cain.
      Genesis 4:13 At this Cain said to Jehovah: “The punishment for my error is too great to bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land,* and I will be hidden from your face; and I will become a wanderer and a fugitive on the earth, and anyone who finds me will certainly kill me.” 15 So Jehovah said to him: “For that reason, anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times.”
      So Jehovah established a sign for Cain in order that no one finding him would strike him. 16 Then Cain went away from before Jehovah and took up residence in the land of Exile, to the east of Eʹden.
      Genesis 4:24 If 7 times Cain is to be avenged,
      Then Laʹmech 77 times.”
      Matthew 18:21 Then Peter came and said to him: “Lord, how many times is my brother to sin against me and am I to forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him: “I say to you, not up to seven times, but up to 77 times.23 “That is why the Kingdom of the heavens may be likened to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.
