The pyramid is actually an island, called Dhaskalio . Its Egyptian pyramid-like form is completely natural. The ancient people built a number of terraces and walls on the island when they settled there thousands of years ago so it looked like a pyramid from the outside.

When Dhaskalio formed 4,600 years ago, the sea level was lower, so it did not sink in the middle of the sea like today.

Although it is impossible to call the island a pyramid because its pointed shape is natural, while the word "pyramid" is a form of artificial construction, Dhaskalio is surprising enough because of the ruins of a city. Extremely developed bronze casting profession.

Archaeological group has found a series of buildings, stairs, walls and drainage, cast bronze cast of a variety of tools such as axes, chisels, daggers .

Estimates of the isolated city from the rest of this world have been used for 400 years from the years 2,600-2,500 BC. However, those who live in Dhaskalio are still mysterious.

The strangest is the trace of a strange ritual . Archaeologists found a broken marble statue near the settlement, in which many statues of god images had crossed arms. It seems that the statues were made only to bring to some other islands in the area, smashed and moved to this island for storage.

Currently, the archaeological group is focusing on the research on the strong development of copper casting in the region from about 2,600-2,500 years in BC, a surprisingly early time compared to the rest of the world.
