Archaeologists in Poland have discovered a set of 5,500-year-old triangular structures that have been nicknamed “Polish pyramids”, and which contain megalithic tombs from one of the region’s oldest sedentary agricultural societies.
The mounds were discovered in the Wielkopolska province by researchers from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań during a routine field survey in Chłapowski Landscape Park in the village of Wyskoć.
The megaliths in Wyskoć are elongated earth mounds up to 200 metres long, constructed in the form of an elongated triangle, whose front was several metres wide and about four metres high. The mound gradually narrows and lowers, passing into a so-called tail.
Archaeological studies of two out of five of the newly discovered sites, including excavation of one of them, confirmed that they were created 5,500 years ago by the people of the Funnelbeaker culture at the end of the Stone Age.
