Circular Pyramid more than 2000 years old discovered in Eastern Bolivia by bat400 on Monday, 29 December 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
A circular pyramid of more than 2,000 years old was discovered in the municipality of Mairana, in the eastern Bolivian department of Santa Cruz, archaeologist Danilo Drakit stated today.

The also coordinator of the Archaeology Project in the government of Santa Cruz stressed that the pyramid is located near Fuerte de Samaipata, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

"The pyramid is composed by three circular bodies, has five entrances, the main one is looking south and includes two hectares of floor space," he stressed.

He also said that its construction could be linked to Fuerte de Samaipata and other archaeological sites in Santa Cruz valleys, even to others located in the Bolivian Chaco region.

The pyramid will be totally visible for late 2015, according to the archaeologist, who said the arrival of the rainy season in the region will force them to stop excavations.
