Archaeologists recently discovered two boulder tombs built 5,500 years ago in the Dezydery Chłapowski Landscape Park in central and western Poland.
These tombs are considered one of the largest tomb structures built in prehistoric Poland, commonly known as the “Polish Pyramids”, “Giant Tombs” or “kujawian Mounds” due to their slender triangle shapes and the use of a large amount of stone.
According to the mid-1930s, the name “Kujawian Mounds” was first identified in northwestern Poland. Artnet.
Archaeologists recently verified two earth tombs after excavating one of them. Researchers at Adam Mickiewicz University discovered Neolithic earthworks in the village of Wyskoć using “advanced remote sensing technology during routine field work” and aerial laser scanning.
Announcement about the discovery was posted on Facebook on July 9.
The oversized tombs with trapezoidal mounds, some stretching 656 feet, were built in the Neolithic funnel culture. Popular mechanics.
During this time, the funnel was a half-Maria, appearing in central Europe. Artnet.
according to Popular mechanics.
The two recently discovered graves do not have human remains, but archaeologists hope that funeral items may still be buried nearby.
“Probably, these could include stone shafts, axes, pottery or characteristic clay boats,” National Park expert Artur Golis told Polish News Agency.
The first discovery of the pyramid in the Dezydery Chłapowski Landscape Park was discovered in 2019. The huge structure was built from stone weighing 10 tons until the height of a one-story house, with a width of more than 600 feet.
