The pyramid of Sougia: the mysterious monument on Crete that "challenges" archaeologists and researchers

It is said that Crete has it all, because on the island that, in addition to enchanting beaches and historical sites, hides many areas with a special mystery that challenges all tourist explorers, you can even find "pyramids".

The pyramid of Sougia, near the settlement of Moni in the province of Selino, is one of these ancient monuments for which there is still no absolute explanation of its meaning and use.

Archaeologists have speculated that the small conical pyramid, with a circumference of 16 metres and a height of 4.60 metres, served as a burial site of the Greco-Roman period, although no objects of research importance have been found in the carved space of 5 square metres.

Of course, many locals know the pyramid as "kiln", as its burnt interior leads to the version that it could have been used as a ceramic kiln in the past, hence the name given to it in recent decades.

One of the "explorers", who love nature and historical monuments, reached the pyramid of Sougia and took pictures of the area.
