Monte d'Accoddi
Monte d'Accoddi northern Sardinia was said to be constructed by the Ozieri culture in the early 4th millennia bc.
It was reconstructed in the 1980s and is managed by I Beni Culturali della Sardegna.
Offset by 9° north and east with the pyramid shape about 21m by 21m with its base larger and more rectangular.
The shape and its pathway suggest a platform or alter possibly for religious use. A number of stones have been removed from the east and may have been used for other builds, although in reconstruction the east face wasn't repaired or wasn't considered as a pyramid shape platform but local tourist information shows a platform where a wooden building was constructed.
The 9° could suggest a north/south alignment. This would equate to 3755 bc and would support the dating.
In this case, the platform would have aligned north/south when built. They would have understood the use of a gnomon, and with that, it would have astrological capabilities.
