There was a pyramid in South America made of soil and covered by stone slabs. It was one and a half high as Cheope's. It was several centuries old when European colonists took away the stones to use them for building. Then the pyramid melted away with rain.

I can't gather further details now. I read about it on Kurt Mendelssohn's The Riddle of Pyramids. However, I hope it gives some useful data on alternative construction methods.
