Ozymandias Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Ukraine may be thousands of miles away from Egypt, but archaeologists there say they have found pyramids. It is claimed that the monuments have been uncovered in the east of the country and that they predate the pyramids in Egypt.

Primus Pilus Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Perhaps the most telling quote from the article is saved for the very end. It is thought that it will take years for archaeologists to uncover the hidden truth. In the meantime, tourism chiefs are keen to cash in and are already planning to open a hotel nearby.

Im sure everyone has noticed that , each time a "new" British site is opened up, the first comment on the "amazing find" is from the Head of Tourism. In fairness the Hadrianic sites cover a stretch of country here, not blessed with great wealth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rameses the Great Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 What is with this stuff? People try to knock of Egypt because of their pyramids and say, 'Ours is better and older. If the pyramids predates the Egyptians one like it says, then how come to my understanding Europe did not start to farm and domesticate animals at that time? Did they just randomly make a civilization and build a pyramid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
