5,500-Year-Old 'Polish Pyramids' Discovered by Archaeologists in Western Poland

Archaeologists in western Poland have uncovered two massive prehistoric structures dubbed the "Poland pyramids," offering a remarkable glimpse into one of Europe's earliest agricultural societies.

These megalithic tombs, estimated to be over 5,500 years old, were unearthed in the General Dezydery Chłapowski Landscape Park in the village of Wyskoć, located in the Wielkopolska region...

Often referred to as "Polish pyramids" or "giants' graves," these megalithic tombs are large, elongated earth mounds built in a distinctive trapezoidal shape. Some measure up to 200 meters in length and rise to a height of four meters. The front of each mound is significantly wider and higher than the tail end, forming a dramatic triangular silhouette that has earned them their nickname.

Archaeologists believe these structures served as communal burial sites for significant individuals within the Funnelbeaker Culture. Despite being a relatively egalitarian society, key figures such as tribal leaders, priests, or shamans were buried in these grand tombs...

The construction of the Poland pyramids is considered a remarkable achievement of Neolithic engineering. These tombs were built using massive stones—some weighing up to 10 tons—which were transported over long distances using rudimentary tools and communal labor.

In Georgia, we call those sort of things “burial mounds”, not pyramids.
