Researchers Confirm They Have Discovered The Largest Pyramid In Mexico Researchers in Mexico have discovered an immense pyramid, even larger that Teotihuacan's Pyramid of the Sun. It's 75 meters in height and was explored by specialists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History. It is located in the acropolis of Tonina, Chiapas and is likely around 1,700 years old. The director of the archaeological zone, Emiliano Gallaga, says that the work, done over the course of two years, verified that the northeastern portion of the site was, indeed, the largest pyramid in Mexico. It is comparable to pyramids found in Tikal and El Mirador of the Mayan civilization.
