The rest of it is covered up by the jungle.

Oh, wow, wow, wow.

And get this.

The bottom level, yeah, so that's El Mirador, the one that's looming over everything.

Yep, yep.

So that's roughly how big it is versus the pyramids in Egypt and everything.

Holy shit.

Now, this graphic is extremely controversial because it really depends on how large...

How you measure the pyramids, because pyramids in Egypt are straight up pyramids.

It's just it's a pyramid.

Right.

But pyramids in Mesoamerica, it starts as a pyramid here.

And so like that photo that you saw is this top level of the pyramid.

But then it comes down and there's another flat level here with two more pyramids on it.

And it comes down another way.

And then it comes down a little bit in a way.

their height and so there's this they have a vantage point where they're standing they're a little taller exactly and there's a huge platform at the bottom and so that pyramid at el mirador is so large that you climb up it and you're like wow that's a really really big pyramid you just keep on going up and up and up and then when i came down it uh i came down the pyramid i reached the bottom and i walked for like five or ten minutes or so

And then I hit another ramp going down.

And I had still been on the pyramid that entire time.

There's a big old flat courtyard.
