Not your fault, but definitely some misinformation here. I started down this rabbit hole by calculating the volume based on the dimensions you provided. Doing so shows Giza having a significantly larger volume (2.6 million cubic meters compared to 0.79 million for Cholula). Checking references on Wikipedia reveals that the “largest” claim is based on the overall complex and not on the pyramid itself. So saying “largest archaeological site of a pyramid” is correct but “largest pyramid by volume” is not.
