The Chinese pyramids are actually mounds, most of which are used for the burial. It was developed in the period of Shang-Zhou (ca. 1766 BCE - ca. 1122 BCE),though it is controversial. Most of them are located within 100 kilometers of the city of Xi'an, on the Qin Chuan Plains in Shaanxi Province, central China. Talking about the shapes: The Inner Mongolian Pyramid located within 1 kilometer north of Sijiazi Town, Aohan County has a pyramidal structure. Niuheliang, another famous structure in China has a pyramidal shape.

Is it true that Pyramids in one form or another have also been found in western China? And f so, do you know from what perod they were built and what form they took. Also were they also used as tombs? because I'm pretty sure the ones in South America were used for ritual/religous purposes.
