A view of the Cholulan pyramid

This picture was taken from a hill across from the pyramid at Cholula.  It shows a broader view of the pyramid.  The stone steps are actually part of another structure that was in front of the pyramid.  The area under the church hasn't been excavated, but from what they can tell, the pyramid ends where the hill spreads out.  The pyramid spreads out that far.  One side is completely gone because the locals used stones from it for their buildings, so they have to guess at the actual dimensions.
