Lots of people made pyramids. There are indigenous pyramids in New England.

Turns out if you want to stack bricks high, the easiest way to do it is to make triangles.

I'm aware of the trend, which is why I was asking about Great Britain in particular and whether they had also done so. Courtesy of this reply I was made aware that there are at least some there, albeit those highlighted were neither as old nor so large.

Still fun to know about though!
