According to this site... Interesting Egyptian God Fact
Khnum was one of the earliest Egyptian deities
Mexico, not Egypt, has the largest pyramid in the world in terms of volume. The Cholula Pyramid (sometimes referred to as Quetzalcoatl) was built around the year A.D. 100. Though it is 40% the height of Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Cheops at Giza, it covers an area of 39.5 acres. In contrast, the Great Pyramid is 480 feet high and covers 13 acres. Additionally, the Mexican pyramid has a volume of 4,300,000 cubic yards, while the Great Pyramid has 3,360,000.[14]
I think the Great Pyramid sounds bigger. Plus, the whole site of the Great Pyramids complex is absolutely immense compared to what you suggested from Mexico. The one in Mexico is like a tinker toy by comparison.

The Great Pyramid is taller. Overall it is smaller than the one in Mexico.

Cholula is biggest by volume, Egypt by height.
Also, at least part of the Mexico pyramid is earth mound (built in phases) so it is apples to oranges.
I have never heard it referred to as Quetzalcoatl, as that god was primary worshiped in Teotijuacan, but I could be wrong.
Monk's Mound at Cahokia is greater in volume than the Great Pyramid. It is an earthen mound, 100 feet tall, built by hand without the use of wheels or animals. It is third largest behind the Sun Pyramid in Teotihuacan and the great Cholula Pyramid.

Thank you, for those of us in the US, these, albeit smaller, are found throughout the US. Burial Mounds in Virginia

I am not impressed.
The Great Pyramid (which wasn't built by Khufu) should be the Zero Point for Time Zones and Meridians.
Why?
They Great Pyramid is exactly the center-point of Earth and its land masses. It's oriented to the cardinal points. 1/4th of land masses are in the northwest quadrant, 1/4th in the northeast quadrant, 1/4th in the southeast quadrant, and 1/4th in the southwest quadrant.
One gets the distinct impression someone knew what Earth looked like before they built it.

70 ton stones 350 feet off the ground in the King’s chamber. Nobody really knows how they did it.
Sound manipulating matter? Implosion? Resonant frequencies? Those theories seem absurd.
But cutting stones with rudimentary tools, then dragging them along the sand for hundreds of miles, and then precisely placing them 350 feet off the ground on a wooden stand is equally absurd.

That was the basis of the story line of the movie and TV show SG1. Aliens came to Egypt as gods and used them as slaves until the slaves revolted.

I don’t think it was aliens. I think it is more likely lost technology and generations from thousands of years ago being much more advanced, in certain ways, than we previously thought.
