Top 9 Unknown Mysterious Pyramids Hidden In PLAIN SIGHT!
From controversial structures in the coldest part of the globe, to history come back to life, here are 9 pyramids hidden in plain sight!
9. Egypt’s “Lost” Pyramids
In August 2012, a North Carolina web developer and self-proclaimed “satellite archaeology researcher” named Angela Micol claimed to identify two desert formations possibly representing lost Egyptian pyramids on Google Earth. She announced the alleged find on the Google Earth Anomalies website, where she described two Nile River basin locations roughly 90 miles (145 km) apart from one another and reported that Egyptologist Nabil Selim verified both sites as undiscovered.
8. A Pyramid In Antarctica
In late 2016, aerial images of a pyramidal formation in Antarctica went viral, sparking widespread speculation about the possibility of an ancient civilization once existing there, and perhaps even extraterrestrial involvement. The uniquely-shaped 4,150-foot-tall (1,265 meters) structure is located among the Heritage Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, which American aviator Lincoln Ellsworth discovered in 1935.
7. Oldest Maya Structure
In 2020 National Geographic reported that a massive, 3000-year-old ceremonial complex was discovered in ‘plain sight’!! A recently published paper in the online journal Nature details the discovery of the 3,000-year-old earthen platform, topped with a 13-storey pyramid, located in Mexico’s Tabasco State.
6. Pyramids Of Zu
Writer Alexander Putney runs a website dedicated to pseudoscience. He believes that the so-called “lost” civilization of Atlantis, actually existed roughly 88,000 years ago, and that the Atlanteans covered the planet in pyramids and temples that are mostly hidden in plain sight.
5. Petra’s Massive Hidden Structure
In mid-2016, an ancient structure roughly the size of an Olympic swimming pool was discovered “hiding in plain sight” in the famous historical ruins of Petra in Jordan. Located just south of the city center, it had gone undetected by researchers and visitors alike for somewhere between 150 and 200 years, according to archaeologist Sarah Parcak from the University of Alabama, Birmingham. Petra sees about half a million tourists annually so you’d think someone would have seen it!!
4. Maya Pyramids In Guatemala
In early 2018, a team of American, European, and Guatemalan archaeologists uncovered 60,000 ancient Maya structures over an 810-square-mile (2,100 km2) area of Guatemala’s Peten region. Of course thanks to high-tech aerial mapping. Concealed by the thick jungle foliage, these houses, buildings, defense works, roads, industrial-sized agricultural fields, irrigation canals, and pyramids indicate that the Maya Lowlands population numbered around 10 million
3. World’s Oldest Pyramids?
Is this just a pile of rocks, or actually the world’s oldest pyramids? Located in Visoko, Bosnia and Herzegovina, roughly 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Sarajevo, is a six-by-10-foot (1.8 by 3 meters) rectangle of fieldstone. Some researchers led by historian Semir Osmanagich believe that a civilization older than the Egyptians built these pyramids in Europe.
2. The Temple At Cholula
Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés stormed through Central America with his army starting in 1519, systematically overpowering and crushing the Aztec Empire. When the expedition reached what’s known today as Cholula, Mexico on October 12th of that year, they were met with little resistance.
1. Pyramid For A Princess
In 2017, archaeologists in Dahshur, Egypt discovered the limestone foundations of an ancient pyramid dating back 3,700 years. It bears an inscription claiming that the structure was built for the pharaoh Ameny Qemau, who ruled for just two years during the Thirteenth Dynasty, but this was the second pyramid experts discovered bearing the ruler’s name.
