Silbury Hill

Silbury Hill, known as the English pyramid, is the largest man-made mound in Europe! The mysterious Silbury Hill compares in height and volume to it's roughly contemporary Egyptian pyramids completed in around 2400 BC. It apparently contains no burial so intriguingly nobody knows who did it, why, or what might be buried underneath... Though clearly important in itself, its purpose and significance remain unknown in modern times. It has been designated an Avebury World Heritage Site, a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
