Scientists have discovered the most massive and oldest-known Mayan structure using an aerial remote-sensing method in southern Mexico. The pyramid, which measured 400 meters wide, 1,400 long, and 10 to 15 meters high, exceeded the Great Pyramid of Giza built 1,500 years earlier.
The ancient settlement named by the specialists of the INAH Quintana Roo Center, as Mahahual, is reportedly the first of that era detected in the locality on the eastern coast of the Yucatan peninsula.
