"Great White Pyramid" of "Xian,China" is the "Worlds Largest Pyramid". It is reported to be about 300 meters high.
It is found in Tibet - located in the Qin Ling Shan mountains, about100 km southwest of the city of Xi'an, in the People's Republic of China.

Yeah ...... the problems is these "experts" are not letting the Ancient Texts speak for itself, in the words of Robert Bauval, I believe.

When the bible says Adam became 930 years and the other preflood people had similar lifespans, I don't see any reason why they didn't actually became that old back then. The Sumerian records say some of their heroes were hundreds of thousand years old. And I believe it. Atleast when there is a mysterious sentance in the book of Genesis stating that after the Flood God changed Man's genome so their lifespans were limited to 120 years. And science agrees. At the end of every cell's genome in our bodies, there is a repetitive code, called telomers. Every time a cell is regenerated it loses one of these instances. And counting them comparing to the cells' rate of regeneration, we get a number very clos to 120 years as the maximum lifespan of a man. Of course there are people who grow older too, but most people doesn't even get to a hundred before they die. 70 years is the "age of a king", according to the bible, while the age of a righteous man is given to be a 120. Abraham is said to have become 120 years. Same with Mosjeh or Moses. And in the Koran, though extra biblical, Jesju or Issa is said to have become a 120 years old.

Well, the Great Pyramid was an ark made to sustain life beyond the Flood, but is not identical with the Ark Noah built. Atleast that's my honest opinion.
At the same time the ozon layer was created the nuclear powerplants in Africa were constructed. This stabilised the the planet and paved the way for life. CO2 and other greenhouse gasses actually cools down the planet after periods when there are less sunspots and the Sun is hotter in it's twelve staged cycle. The "only" source of heat here on earth are created by gravity and magnetics working on matter, like the Sun and the Core of this earth. More heat from the Sun or Lava=more CO2 in the atmosphere. Are politicans really this stupid, or are they simply trying to get a better price for their fossile fuels now that they are about to empty their deposits? Talk is cheap, and money talks. Like the boheme I am I intend to kill myself slowly because of smoking tobacco. Try to stop me!
Gopher wood or gopherwood is a term used once in the Bible, for the substance from which Noah's ark was built. Gen 6:14 states that Noah was to build the Ark of גפר, gofer, more commonly gopher wood, a word not otherwise known in the Bible or in Hebrew.
This word was made to fit with wood, because it is not a real word. It was Kopher...like Coffin....Stone or Sarcophagus, the dimensions are not measures but how to scale it. Scale is the only "fair" measure...like a flat tax....all do the same to "scale" added by ltru
Its identity has not been established with certainty. Older English translations, including the King James Version (17th century), simply leave it untranslated.
[edit] Question over identity
The Greek Septuagint (3rd–1st centuries BC) translated it as xylon tetragonon, "squared timber".[1] Similarly, the Latin Vulgate (5th century AD) rendered it as lignis levigatis (lævigatis, in the Clementine Vulgate), "smoothed (possibly planed) wood".
The Jewish Encyclopedia believes it was most likely a translation of the Babylonian "gushure i÷ erini" (cedar-beams), or the Assyrian "giparu" (reed).[2]
Many modern English translations tend to favour cypress (although otherwise the word for "cypress" in Biblical Hebrew is brosh). This was espoused (among others) by Adam Clarke, a Methodist theologian famous for his commentary on the Bible: Clarke cited the resemblance between Greek word for cypress, kuparisson and the Hebrew word gophar.
Other suggestions include pine, cedar, fir, ebony, wicker, juniper, acacia, boxwood, slimed bulrushes and resinous wood, and even American trees such as Cladrastis kentukea (American yellowwood), although this type of gopherwood has no known relation to the material of Noah's Ark.
Others, noting the physical similarity between the Hebrew letters g and k, suggest that the word may actually be kopher, the Hebrew word meaning "pitch"; thus kopher wood would be pitched wood. Recent suggestions have included a lamination process (to strengthen the Ark), or a now-lost type of tree, but there is no consensus.[3]

BS. Erets means matter, earth, land and the Land, the abide of the children of God.
