Greetings from ancestors. Top survived pyramids from previous civilizations

The oldest temples, landmarks for alien ships, tombs of the great pharaohs and calendars of astronomical events are just a few of the presumptive options for assigning mysterious pyramids. If the pyramids of Giza nowadays are known to thousands of enthusiastic tourists, then about the existence and exact location of some other pyramids know only researchers. Dozens of pyramids located everywhere in the world were found on the planet for the last hundred years. To see some of them, you need to go through steep mountain passes, others are hidden behind a string of lifeless desert landscapes or completely flooded with the waters of the world's ocean. To say that pyramids with a thousand-year-old history hide a lot of secrets means to say nothing. The mere fact, that thousands of years ago mankind was able to erect such majestic structures seems incredible. Time and elements do not dominate over the grandiose constructions. Each of them has its own hidden and unexplored purpose. … Read further
