World's Largest Pyramids by Volume
The world's largest pyramids by volume span multiple continents and civilizations, with the Great Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico being the largest at approximately 4.45 million cubic meters. This massive structure, also known as Tlachihualtepetl or "man-made mountain," has nearly twice the volume of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which contains about 2.6 million cubic meters. The La Danta pyramid complex in Guatemala ranks second with an estimated 2.8 million cubic meters, though some debate exists about whether the entire complex should be considered a single pyramid.
Egyptian pyramids dominate the list, with the Pyramid of Khafre (2.2 million m³), Red Pyramid (1.69 million m³), and Bent Pyramid (1.24-1.44 million m³) all ranking among the largest. The Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, Mexico, contains approximately 1.1 million cubic meters, while the Pyramid of Menkaure in Giza has about 1.0 million cubic meters. Other significant structures include the Pyramid of Neferirkare (2.6 million m³), Pyramid of Djoser (330,400 m³), and various Fifth and Sixth Dynasty Egyptian pyramids with volumes ranging from 47,390 to 107,835 cubic meters. Modern pyramids like the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas have substantial volumes as well, with its atrium alone containing approximately 0.82 million cubic meters.
