On the White Continent, scientists made an unexpected discovery. Here they found mountains that are very similar to the pyramids. The first find was found in close proximity to the coast, and the other two - sixteen kilometers from the coastline, planet-today.ru reports.
Experts believe that ancient pyramids have been found in Antarctica. According to the authors of the find, these structures could not have been created by nature, a human trace is clearly visible here.
Scientists from the US and Europe were exploring the vast ice sheet of the highest continent on our planet, because of which they discovered three ancient pyramids that do not belong to natural monuments.
Some scientists are sure that in the past the places of the southern continent were densely covered with forests, and many animals and other creatures lived there. An ancient civilization of people could also live in these places.
In order to bring evidence with them, experts took pictures of the unique pyramids. In the near future, scientists plan to return and continue studying the find.
As Strana reported, near the ancient city of the Indians of Quilcapampa in Peru, there are giant drawings on the ground.

The most mysterious continent of the Earth attracts researchers, discoverers and even lovers of conspiracy theories. The study of Antarctica clearly demonstrates that science is being created before our eyes. Amazing discoveries and finds amaze not only ordinary people, but also prominent scientists: a “bloody” waterfall, a Martian meteorite, fossils and even a huge lake hid in the ice for many millennia.
website I decided to find out what discoveries modern scientists have made and what conspiracy theorists are talking about when it comes to Antarctica.
Martian meteorite with traces of life
The Martian meteorite, which we know as Allan Hills 84001, was found in the Alan Hills mountains in Antarctica on December 27, 1984. This discovery caused a wide public outcry due to the fact that fossilized microscopic structures were found on the surface of the meteorite, which could be bacteria. The question of the extraterrestrial origin of bacteria is still open, but it is supported by the fact that the size of the found structures is 20–100 nanometers in diameter, which is much smaller than any form of cellular life known to us.
The uniqueness of ALH 84001 is also in the fact that, according to research data, it broke away from its home planet 4 billion years ago, when there was still liquid water, while the rest of the meteorites found on Earth no longer belong to the era of “wet” Mars.
Lake under four kilometers of ice
One of the largest geographical discoveries of the 20th century is the subglacial Lake Vostok, which was discovered in Antarctica. The most surprising thing about this find is that it was hidden under a layer of ice 4 km thick. Scientists believe that the lake was cut off from the outside world by a glacier for several million years.
The dimensions of the East are amazing: the total area of the lake is about 16,000 square meters. km, and the depth can reach 1,200 m. Most likely, it remains unfrozen due to underground geothermal sources. The drilling of the well was a complex and lengthy process, it was started in 1989, suspended in 1999 (for fear of polluting the unique ecosystem) and returned to it only in 2006 to be completed in 2013.
Since 2015, an active stage of studying the lake has begun. In a water sample, scientists found microorganisms, one of which is an unknown species. But these were samples from the surface, the most interesting will begin when they can get samples from the bottom, where, according to assumptions, the water is heated by thermal springs and suitable for life. Perhaps soon scientists will be able to find unprecedented species of creatures. Who knows how evolution developed in the closed ecosystem of the East.
Burnt forest
The fact that Antarctica was once a green continent, scientists have guessed since the time of the first expeditions to the new land. However, they recently made a discovery that has greatly puzzled modern science: over and over again in different areas of Antarctica, burnt and petrified forests are found, which not only prove the theory of "green Antarctica", but also pose a new task for scientists - to determine what happened to the forest.
Examination of fossils has shown a severe level of fire damage, which suggests that the ancient forests were destroyed about 250 million years ago in a massive fire, which in turn could be caused by a meteorite impact or volcanic activity. Research on this issue is ongoing to this day.
91 volcanoes under the ice
Since 2013, numerous reports have been circulating on the network that scientists have found a copy of the Egyptian pyramids in Antarctica with the same parameters and layout. As evidence, photographs of one of the pyramids and its satellite images are given. The "sensational" news caused a storm of discussions and rumors, and the truth was not revealed immediately.
The ancient pyramids of Antarctica are one of the most controversial issues among researchers. Some attribute the man-made pyramids of Antarctica to the realm of mythology and legend, seeing them as natural formations of rocky formations.

But if you look at the history of the frozen earth in more detail, it turns out that millions of years ago, the southern continent was not covered with snow and layers of ice. It was a vast world of greenery and blossoming life. Therefore, it is quite acceptable to conclude that once a person was active in the now frozen to the ground earth.
Vanessa Clare Bowman of the British Antarctic Survey (Cambridge) once said: Looking back a hundred million years, we will see Antarctica covered in lush rainforests similar to those that exist in New Zealand today.
Antarctica has been presented to us as one of the most mysterious continents on the planet for hundreds of years. The ice continent is the center of numerous ideas, because many researchers rightly believe that amazing artifacts of ancient history are buried in ice here.
Assuming the theory that Antarctica was a flourishing territory, now, among the formidable grandeur of the ice, many artifacts about the past of this land, and possibly traces of the civilization of that time, are probably stored. Approximately 170 million years have passed since the ice desert formed a single part of the Gondwana supercontinent. Approximately 45 million years have passed since the "warm" life of Antarctica stopped. Right in the midst of life, the mortal enemy of all living things burst here - a fierce cold.
Past History of Antarctica.
In the past history of Antarctica, the continent was much farther north, so it enjoyed a gracious tropical climate. What we see now, where ice and frost reign, at one time flaunted lush green forests inhabited by a variety of ancient life forms.
Jane Francis of the University of Leeds once said on the BBC: “I am still stunned by the idea of blooming Antarctica in the deep past. We take it for granted that Antarctica has always been a frozen wasteland. However, ice caps are only relatively recent in the geological history of the continent.
So what happens? If Antarctica was once an enchanting area of blooming jungle, then there is a chance that intelligent life could comfortably settle there?Alas, this is not quite something that we can know for sure. It is extremely difficult to explore Antarctica, as expeditions through ice and frost are very dangerous and usually very expensive. Even today, with modern technologies and seemingly advanced equipment, a person on the ice continent is just a fragile creature.
Exploration of Antarctica.
As is well known, experts have found pollen in samples taken from Antarctica. This means that at some point in history, the temperature there was indeed around 20 degrees Celsius.
In 2012, experts from the Nevada Desert Research Institute discovered 32 species of bacteria from an East Antarctica lake. It is obvious to us that in the distant past, the climate of Antarctica was completely different, the continent could theoretically support life.
Thus, the idea of the pyramids of Antarctica no longer looks absurd. This led many researchers to the theory that just as there were ancient civilizations in Asia, Europe or Africa, similar civilizations settled in Antarctica. It was they who could build wonderful structures equal in importance to the Egyptian or other pyramids of the world. And it's not an incredible story!
Man-made or natural formations?
Many point out that if the pyramids were built by man, then this could change our knowledge of human history in a fundamental way. However, there are other explanations that can shed light on the mysterious "structures" of the territory frozen for millions of years.
The geology of the Earth is a fascinating story, but in fact, there are many natural formations that can be misinterpreted as man-made objects. All that we regard as ancient pyramids are just rocky mountain peaks, scientists explain.
But no less true is the fact that for millions of years the continent had ideal conditions for the development of civilization. And if there were conditions, then a certain civilization could appear on a vast area and develop. So, in the pyramids we see real signs of the existence of an unknown culture of ancient times.
While some believe that Antarctica has become a haven for many secret secrets even of the Nazis, skeptics claim that what many see as pyramids are in reality just natural formations.Interestingly, according to climatology experts, the current global warming has “warmed up” the peninsula by an alarming 2.8 degrees Celsius. This is somewhat higher than what happens in any other corner of the planet. If the trend continues at the same pace, then it is very likely that someday we will see how the ice will melt and ancient lands will be opened to scientists.
As we now understand, Antarctica was not always severely cold, dry and "unfriendly" to humans as it is today. Looking back at the warm past of this land and wondering if an ancient civilization could have lived here? Our answer is simple - Yes!
Interest in Antarctica did not arise today. If we look back a couple of decades, we find out how much interest the cold lands represented for the Nazis. The Germans literally raved about the ancient continent and its past life.
Knowledgeable people say that the Nazis built a large base in Antarctica called "Station 211". the conspiracy theory assures that the secret base "Station 211" is a real reality, hidden somewhere inside the ice-free Muhlig-Hofmann mountain range, the so-called "Neuschwabenland", Queen Maud Land. According to conspiracy theories, the Nazis chose areas with green vegetation to build the base, which was provided by the heat of geothermal sources.
A stunning phrase about the development of Antarctica by the Nazis was once uttered by Admiral Karl Dönitz: "The German submarine fleet is proud to have built an impregnable fortress for the Fuhrer in another part of the world." - What do you think, what meaning did the admiral put into this phrase? After all, he could not talk about a simple bunker ...
So what do you think of Antarctica now? Is it possible that in the distant past, when Antarctica still had a tropical climate, an unknown civilization was active on the continent?
Maybe among the snow and ice lie not only the most ancient pyramids, at least 170 million years old, but also the greatest mystery of the appearance of man on Earth?
* Alas, to date, the pyramids of ancient civilizations have not been found on the southernmost continent of the Earth. Although in Internet publications there are reports from time to time about the discovery of three ancient pyramids in Antarctica, allegedly in shape extremely reminiscent of the Egyptian pyramids.
The first news about man-made pyramids in Antarctica appeared on the Internet in mid-June 2013. The main evidence was a slideshow of several photographs and small explanatory texts.
It was reported that eight researchers from universities in the US and Europe made the incredible discovery, their identities were not disclosed. Such secrecy was explained by the fact that they allegedly planned to send a scientific expedition to the pyramids to study the mysterious objects in detail. Judging by the latest news, which completely repeats the information of two years ago, the campaign did not take place.
The video shows the logo of a group of scientists from the UK Alien Disclosure Group (ADG), which reveals secret materials about UFOs and extraterrestrial technologies. The author of the sensation is one of the members of the community, Stephen Hannard. He has been caught many times on fake UFO evidence.
It turned out that the pyramids are two angles of one mountain of the highest ridge of Antarctica called Vinson. The array is located in Antarctica. Hannard took the 2010 photos from a blog of climbers climbing near the unusual summit.

Anyone can view the mountain from above with the help of Google Maps.
As well as the entire mountain range (in the red circle - the same mountain).
The third picture with the pyramid near the shore, most likely a photomontage. The mountain is located on an ice shelf, and it flows from the coast into the sea: any building simply could not survive on the edge of such an ice sheet.
What scientists say
If this was not created by a person, the question arises, because of what such bizarre forms are formed. Geologist Yuri Kozlov and geomorphologist Konstantin Lovyagin commented on the RT TV channel.
“Usually, all the bizarre rock shapes are formed due to the fact that they are composed of different minerals of different densities. Accordingly, in the process of weathering, when natural factors (rain, snow, wind) destroy the rock, minerals with a lower density are first used up, while solid ones remain and take on various interesting shapes, in which a person then tries to find something familiar, ”explained RT Kozlov.
According to Lovyagin, “perhaps this is the most common result of the denudation process, that is, the remnants have a natural shape close to pyramidal. This is far from a unique phenomenon that can be found in different parts of the Earth. It is due to the mineralogical composition of the rock. Different rocks in the process of weathering take on different shapes. It could be basalt or a granite intrusion that retains such chiseled shapes due to the slowing down of weathering processes at low temperatures.”
The other day in the Internet media spread the news about the pyramids of an ancient civilization, which were discovered in Antarctica. In reality, everything is somewhat not so exciting - a photograph of an ordinary mountain six years ago was given out as a mystical building.
The story was told by more than 300 media
Over the past 24 hours, more than 300 Russian-language media have talked about the pyramids of an ancient civilization. “Scientists have discovered 3 pyramids that are definitely not the result of natural disasters, as they were built with maximum precision,- writes the Belarusian state news agency BELTA. — Experts are sure that after a detailed study of these structures, they will be able to determine what kind of civilization lived in that territory in ancient times.”
News about the pyramids in Antarctica appear on the Web is not the first time. Previously, these same pyramids were "found" in September 2016, before that - in 2013.
This is not science, but "fairy tales" of ufologists
The discovery of the pyramids is not the result of scientific research. News about this spread ufologists. The very first video about the pyramids in Antarctica appeared on the Alien Disclosure Group's YouTube channel. This time, the outbreak of news spawned publication on the Alltime Conspiracies Facebook page.
Most likely, this pyramid is just a mountain of the Ellsworth system. Her photographs were published in 2010 by climbers who climbed near the unusual peak. You can see this peak on Google Maps. You can see that the pyramid is not in the desert - it is one of the peaks of the ridge.
Here's what the scientists say
Recently, several geologists have reported that the pyramidal shape of the summit is the result of natural processes.
“Pyramidal structures are located in the Ellsworth mountain range. Its length is more than 400 kilometers, so it is not surprising that the mountain peaks are visible from under the ice,- says the doctor Mitch Darcy(Mitch Darcy), geologist at the German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam. — The peaks are obviously made of stones. It is a coincidence that this particular peak has such a shape.”
“Perhaps this is the most common result of the denudation process, that is, the remnants have a natural shape close to pyramidal,- explained the Russian geomorphologist Konstantin Lovyagin. — This is far from a unique phenomenon that can be found in different parts of the Earth. It is due to the mineralogical composition of the rock. Different rocks in the process of weathering take on different shapes. It could be basalt or a granite intrusion that retains such chiseled shapes due to the slowing down of weathering processes at low temperatures.”
Pyramids are not only in Antarctica
There are natural pyramids in other parts of the Earth. This is what Bulandstindur looks like in Iceland.
