Archaeologists in Poland’s Wielkopolska region have uncovered two prehistoric megalithic tombs, now being referred to as the “Polish Pyramids.” These structures, estimated to be around 5,500 years old, date back to the same era as Stonehenge and predate the Egyptian pyramids.
The trapezoidal tombs, each about 200 meters long and 4 meters high, were constructed with stones weighing up to 10 tons and are aligned toward the sunrise. They are attributed to the Funnelbeaker culture, known for its early agricultural practices and monumental tomb-building.
Researchers believe these tombs served as burial sites for influential figures such as shamans and tribal leaders. Artifacts found include ceremonial axes and opium vessels, indicating the spiritual significance of the graves. The discovery offers new insights into prehistoric European architecture and belief systems.
