Imagine walking downstairs from a wine cellar of the mid-20th century and coming out in a room made in the medieval times. Not only is it a strange transition of construction; this buried structure is a completely unique discovery made in Italy. The stare case continues to descend down multiple stories of a pyramid! No pyramids have been found in this area before, so this could be quite an addition to what we know about human culture. The way the the pyramid is built shows it was made by Etruscan people; the most sophisticated civilization in Italy until they were overtaken by Romans. Etruscan culture was very original and influenced other cultures in a lot of areas like art and religion. They still contribute to worldly practices like wine making, building roads, and writing. They don't get a lot of credit in common history. The discovery of these buried pyramids could shed new light to the significance and depth of this ancient civilization.
