In the first Volcano Minisode of our season break, Katy Reiss and Laura Fawks Lapole uncover one of the wildest stories you've probably never heard: how an active volcano in Mexico accidentally buried—and preserved—the world’s largest pyramid. Yes, really.

🌋 What is Popocatépetl, and why is it still puffing smoke?

🏛 How did the Great Pyramid of Cholula disappear beneath volcanic ash?

📜 What ancient secrets were hiding under a grassy hill with a church on top?

🔥 And how can something as destructive as a volcano also protect history?

From drinking murals and five miles of hidden tunnels to short-stocky "unit pyramids" (you’ll get it), this minisode has all the chaos, science, and sarcasm you’ve come to expect.

👉 This is episode 1 of 6 in our Volcano Minisodes series—bite-sized, bizarre, and bursting with molten-hot science facts.
