We're all familiar with the famous Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, but you perhaps didn't know that mysterious ancient pyramids have also been discovered in Poland.

Located in the northwest of the country, these pyramids are known as Giant’s Graves or Kujawian mounds and were first identified back in the mid-1930s.

And they're pretty old, estimated to have been built in the 4th millennium B.C.E., to accommodate the remains of a single important community figure.

Those were built after the Egyptian ones and were made by agricultural settlers, where they formed the elongated triangular earth mounds lined with huge stones in the forests on the continent.

What do these pyramids show?

These pyramids display the work and craftsmanship of Neolithic peoples of the time, and they had no problem with heavy lifting, it seems, as they could move a whopping 10-ton stones for monument arrangement, with some being as tall as a one-story house.

Wielkopolska, an area in west-central Poland, is home to some of the most recent evidence found in 2019, with two additional pyramids being discovered in Dezydery Chłapowski Landscape Park by researchers from Adam Mickiewicz University, as the team used advanced remote sensing technology, which provided an outline of the distinctive trapezoidal shape.
