The conventional view is that the earliest Pyramids in Egypt were constructed circa 2,500 BCA. These are the Step & Bent Pyramids. Shortly afterward, the pyramid building improved dramatically and the result was the Pyramid complex at Giza. Regarding the Mexican complex the speculation is that it was constructed between 2,000 & 2,500 years ago.
