4,600-YEAR OLD PYRAMID AS OLD AS STONEHENGE REVEALS BEGINNINGS OF ANCIENT GREEK CIVILISATION IN WHAT TODAY IS THE ISLAND OF DHASKALIO
"It is by far the largest prehistoric marine transport operation that has ever come to light anywhere in the world," said Dr Julian Whitewright, a leading maritime archaeologist at the University of Southampton, told the Independent. "It demonstrates quite clearly just how important, and integral to their culture, seafaring was to these early Bronze Age Aegean people.” The huge quantity of white marble was shipped from Naxos, an island some six-and-a-half miles away.
Ancient pyramid found on Aegean island reveals beginnings of ancient Greek civilisation

The long-buried pyramid of Dhaskalio, dating back at least 4,600 years, was constructed of marble transported from nearby Aegean islands on tiny wooden ships.
This story today does not concern biblical archaeology, but it does show us something amazing. Archaeologists have long been fascinated by the ancient Greek Island of Keros, knowns today as Dashkalio, but have suddenly made an amazing discovery about the island. It doesn’t just have a ‘pyramid shape’, but contains the remains of an actual pyramid built thousands of years ago. Why all these things are suddenly coming to light now, in our age, is just one of many signs pointing to an increase in events related to the end times.
“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7 (KJV)
Why did so many ancient civilizations like the Aztecs, Greeks, Egyptians and others choose the pyramid as the ideal shape for religious worship? What was it about the massive triangle structure that they all connected to what they called god? Does it have any connection with the triangles so favored by the Illuminati and the Freemasons? I think we will be tackling these excellent questions in upcoming articles.
More than 4,600 years ago builders carved out the entire surface of a naturally pyramid-shaped promontory on the Greek island of Keros. They shaped it into terraces covered with 1,000 tonnes of specially imported gleaming white stone to give it the appearance of a giant stepped pyramid rising from the Aegean: the most imposing manmade structure in all the Cyclades archipelago.

But beneath the surface of the terraces lay undiscovered feats of engineering and craftsmanship to rival the structure’s impressive exterior. Archaeologists from three different countries involved in an ongoing excavation have found evidence of a complex of drainage tunnels – constructed 1,000 years before the famous indoor plumbing of the Minoan palace of Knossos on Crete – and traces of sophisticated metalworking.
A Mysterious Pyramid As Old As Stonehenge Has Been Discovered On Tiny Greek Island.
FROM DAILY STAR UK: “It is by far the largest prehistoric marine transport operation that has ever come to light anywhere in the world,” said Dr Julian Whitewright, a leading maritime archaeologist at the University of Southampton, told the Independent. “It demonstrates quite clearly just how important, and integral to their culture, seafaring was to these early Bronze Age Aegean people.” The huge quantity of white marble was shipped from Naxos, an island some six-and-a-half miles away.
Based on illustrations of early Greek sailing craft on Bronze Age pottery, archaeologists estimate that it would have required over 3,500 trips with 24 sailors rowing solidly for five hours in open water. The Greeks built a huge structure, using up to 10,000 tonnes of marble, completely transforming the shape of the island of Keros – known today as Dhaskalio. Elsewhere on the island, archaeologists have found innumerable knives, tools, and small sculptures which may have been left as offerings by those visiting the island.
IT WAS PART OF A WORLDWIDE EXPLOSION OF MONUMENTAL BUILDING – THE RUINED PYRAMID OF DHASKALIO IS ROUGHLY THE SAME AGE AS STONEHENGE, THE LOST CITY OF ERIDU IN IRAQ, AND THE EARLIEST PYRAMIDS IN EGYPT.
The pyramid structure seems to have occurred independently to the Greeks and Egyptians, and a little later the Aztecs, as the ideal shape for monumental building. When Dhaskalio was newly-built the white marble structure would have been an amazing sight to seafarers in the region and was almost certainly a site of major religious significance across the region.
Creation myths of many early cultures revolve around a mountain emerging from the chaos of the sea and it’s possible that Dhaskalio was intended to represent that first land. “It is potentially a fundamental place of origin for the phenomenon of sacred mountains within the Greek world,” said Dr Alan Peatfield of University College Dublin’s School of Archaeology, who is a renowned expert on Greek mountaintop sanctuaries
Michael Boyd of Cambridge University’s McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, who is a co-director of the investigation, told the Independent: ”Our investigation has been transforming our understanding of early Bronze Age Cycladic culture and suggests that these very early Greeks were organisationally, technically and politically much more advanced than previously thought.” READ MORE
Pyramid-Shaped Island Is Actually A Pyramid
On a Greek Island, Clues to a Mysterious Civilization
When the National Geographic made this excellent video a year old, they called it a ‘pyramid-shaped island’, now archaeologists have discovered that there is an actual pyramid buried underneath the outer layers. And it’s as old as Stonehenge. How incredible is that?
