Encyclopedia > Dyss

A dyss (pl. dysser) is a Megalithic cist burial from the Danish late Neolithic. The central slab cist may contain several skeletons and was covered by an earth mound with a retaining kerb. They may have been used by the same people who built the Danish passage graves although they appear to come from different traditions.


Unlike the cist burials built elsewhere in Northern Europe, dysser are larger and their architecture is unique to the country.

Masquerade, by Anna (17339 words)
The Dyss ships were slow and cumbersome in comparison with our Vipers, and the cautious nature of their approach is probably explained by their realisation that we had the tactical and technological advantage.
The Dyss were recognisably humanoid, having the same sort of anatomical arrangements but for six fingered hands that were very long and delicate looking, and hair that looked more like the brightly coloured feathers of some exotic bird.
I’d waited until the fl Dyss had appeared, two of them this time, standing to one side of the imposing sweep of steps leading up to the huge portico of the building that Khaeyr was intent on showing to me, and I asked her who they were.
Sun.Star Cebu - GMA radio station drops dramas (367 words)
We have decided to concentrate on what we are good at,” dySS station manager and vice president for AM production Susan Aliño said during a press conference at the Sarrosa International Hotel last Monday.
DYSS chief operating officer and program director Bobby Nalzaro said dramas are more expensive to produce than news and public affairs programs, as dramas involve more than 10 persons.
If we multiply this by 10 (dySS’ number of dramas every day), the station shells out half a million pesos a month for the drama operations alone,” he said.
