Archaeologists claim the Ukrainian pyramids predate those in Giza
It is claimed that the monuments have been uncovered in the east of the country and that they predate the pyramids in Egypt. But the claim that there is evidence of pyramids is being disputed. The prestigious Academy of Sciences has sent its own expert to the dig. It believes that this could be the Ukrainian version of Stonehenge.
This could be one of the most exciting archaeological discoveries in recent years.

The very thought that Caucasians were settled in a part of China thousands of years before Wu Di’s early contacts with the west and Marco Polo’s travels has enormous political ramifications. And that these Europeans should have been in restive Xinjiang hundreds of years before East Asians is explosive.
The discovery of European corpses thousands of miles away suggests a hitherto unknown connection between East and West in the Bronze Age. Solid as a warrior of the Caledonii tribe, the man’s hair is reddish brown flecked with grey, framing high cheekbones, a long nose, full lips and a ginger beard. When he lived three thousand years ago, he stood six feet tall, and was buried wearing a red twill tunic and tartan leggings. He looks like a Bronze Age European. In fact, he’s every inch a Celt. Even his DNA says so. But this is no early Celt from central Scotland. This is the mummified corpse of Cherchen Man, unearthed from the scorched sands of the Taklamakan Desert in the far-flung region of Xinjiang in western China, and now housed in a new museum in the provincial capital of Urumqi. In the language spoken by the local Uighur people in Xinjiang, “Taklamakan” means: “You come in and never come out.”
