CNN covers the news - watch video

This follows the pyramid found in Europe

Interesting that we have pyramids, something until recently exclusively associated with Ancient Egypt, on almost every continent on Earth

 

[DMczaf]

 

[BorkBork]

Not surprising, there's a lot that is still undiscovered in that region.

I hope this thread doesn't go all conspiracy alien though.

 

[-COOLIO-]

how the hell could they just only now find this?

 

[Joe211]

Brooke Baldwin she's hot

 

[tino]

Egyptian Pyramid had treasure inside though, that's what counts.

By recently, you mean around the 1500s with European exploration of Mesoamerican civilizations, right?

:lol

 

[Always-honest]

this was unnoticed..?..
well, at least more stuff for the next uncharted

thousands left to discover?........

it looks like it has roads next to it, i dont understand how this could just have been found.

 

[mushy45]

Come on now, how can they miss that

 

[Binabik15]

You can create tall, durable buildings by stacking stones onto each other, every new plane getting smaller. Many cultures could figure that out.

Mind=blown.

 

[watervengeance]

I can see why it could have been undetected by satellites or something, but no one thought to investigate there?

they're all over the place because they're phallic

 

[BlueTsunami]

Local: Yeah, we always thought this Pyramid shaped hill was sort of suspect but never payed it too much mind

I'm guessing you have to view it from far off and up high to see its irregularities. Is it covered with dirt or something? All that vegetation is crazy.

 

[pringles]

those damn mayans and their pyramid schemes

I'm sure there's some sweet loot in there though

 

[Zeliard]

Needs moar mummified pharoah.

Wrong again!

on almost every continent on Earth

...annnnd wrong again.

edit: Took out the first two, I clicked the wrong link in your post.

Still, though, these other assertions are incorrect.

 

[Always-honest]

hmmn.. lets see... trees, trees, huge pyramide shaped formation of trees, trees, .. nope.. nothing to see here..

 

[C.Dark.DN]

is it made of stone or did they sculpt land?

 

[John Dunbar]

how the hell could they just only now find this?

God just planted it there last week, around the same time he made all those new species in Australia. Patch 2,023,932,912.3.

Lost City of Miradoor? New meme incoming.

 

[Kevtones]

Neat.

That's what it was designed for, Meus is a conspiracy nut from AboveTopSecret.

He believes in aliens and UFOs and creationism and all that loony shit.

Absolutely nothing to see here folks, go home

That's what it was designed for, Meus is a conspiracy nut.

If we compiled every description you've made of me, do you think it'd attract publishers wanting to write a biography about me?

 

[BlueTsunami]

Wrong again!

CNN is stating its the largest Pyramid "by volume".

Edit: Oops, seen that you edited it out

I do hope you're joking or drunk.

did you watch the vid?

 

[thomaser]

They didn't - I saw a program about this pyramid on Discovery five-six years ago. The site itself was found almost 100 years ago. I dunno why CNN jumps on it now.

He can add all this but he can't fix the multiplayer bugs on the Great Wall?

We still can't get any Blue Posts on which of us are reading the TOS correctly.

It is the easiest, most stable way to make something very large and very tall. It's no more mysterious than a lot of things naturally forming circles. Roughly the same concept.

I can't believe nobody has said 2012 yet.

 

[BorkBork]

:lol

What's so funny?

 

[Tideas]

i wonder...why a triangular shape. i mean, it's not like egypt and south america shared technology.

So why pointy shape toward sky?

 

[T Dawg]

What's inside it, anything good?

It sucks that they have to waste resources guarding it because of assholes who will steal anything, it's despicable.

It's gotta be the engineering, without steel or iron you'd have to build a very big strong base to make something tall.

 

[RadAndrew502]

Bet ya the dumb bastards were all trying to build a structure that would reach the heavens.

Squares are easier than other shapes to maintain accuracy as you build upward. To keep stability, it's eaiser to make the squares ever smaller. End result - pyramid.

Reason rectilinear shapes help - pointing in straight lines towards astronomical objects.
