I saw a great program on the history channel about the first emperor of China, and the burial tomb he had made for himself. They have not dug into it to confirm that it is man made, but if it is then the Chinese were also building giant pyramids in 200BC - in complete isolation from the rest of the world. The one in china is mostly dirt and loose rock (from what Ive seen about it) but the basic form is the same.
