Abstract: We prove that the spectrum of the linear delay differential equation $x^{\prime }(t)=A_{0}x(t)+A_{1}x(t-a{u}_1)+ldots+A_{n}x(t-a{u}_n)$ with multiple hierarchical large delays $1lla{u}_{1}lla{u}_{2}llldotslla{u}_n$ splits into two distinct parts: the strong spectrum and the pseudo-continuous spectrum. As the delays tend to infinity, the strong spectrum converges to specific eigenvalues of $A_0$, the so-called asymptotic strong spectrum. Eigenvalues in the pseudo-continuous spectrum however, converge to the imaginary axis. We show that after rescaling, the pseudo-continuous spectrum exhibits a hierarchical structure corresponding to the time-scales $a{u}_1,a{u}_2,ldots,a{u}_n.$ Each level of this hierarchy is approximated by spectral manifolds that can be easily computed. The set of spectral manifolds comprises the so-called asymptotic continuous spectrum. It is shown that the position of the asymptotic strong spectrum and asymptotic continuous spectrum with respect to the imaginary axis completely determines stability. In particular, a generic destabilization is mediated by the crossing of an $n$-dimensional spectral manifold corresponding to the timescale $a{u}_n$.
