Blown Up By Treasure Hunters: The Mysterious Pyramids of Nubia

Built by an African civilization that constructed even more pyramids than the Egyptians, these unusual monuments rise from the harsh deserts of an area known as Nubia in modern-day Sudan.
Nestled within the expansive Nile Valley, this area was ruled by a powerful people known as the Kushites. Their pyramids were constructed as tombs for mighty kings and warrior queens over a period of centuries, and some are believed to date back as far as 800 BC.
Despite enduring abrasive sandstorms, harsh desert winds, and even the efforts of determined looters armed with dynamite, many of these pyramids have stood strong for millennia.
The leaders of the ancient Kushite kingdoms erected more than 255 of the monumental structures.
Compared to the famous Egyptian pyramids, those found in Nubia are taller and narrower. They have a smaller footprint, and their exteriors consist of horizontal blocks of stone, forming a steep 70-degree incline.
These pyramids range from a modest 20 feet in height to a more impressive 100 feet. Many also have a unique, small offering temple structure at their base, allowing followers to leave offerings and pay their respects.
Analyses of the pyramids around Nubia have determined them to be constructed primarily from sandstone and mud bricks. Still, rarer and more precious materials, along with other mysteries, can be found within…

    I'm nbot the only one to think that the reason many ancient structures are around desert are the result of ancient wars. The ancient indians wrote of having flying machines with weapons with the power of a thousand suns which scorched the whole land and made everyones nails amd hair fall out....

    Would you please explore the mystery of ancient writings and traditions talking about a time when the moon did not exist? I have always been curious about this. The people who supposedly lived before the moon were "Pelasgians" or "Proselenes." Below is a quote from one of the few articles I could find about them: "Democretus and Anaxagoras mention that there was a time when no moon could be seen in the night skies. In describing the history of the Greek region of Arcadia, Aristotle writes that the Pelasgians lived in the area since very old times; at a time when the moon did not exist. Apollonios from Rhodes mentions something similar; he talks about a time when not all of the celestial objects existed in the sky; before the time of Deucalion’s and Pyrra’s generation (before the cataclysm); when the moon did not exist and the only humans that existed were the Pelasgians living on the mountains of Arcadia (region in Greece). These inhabitants of Arcadia where also known as Proselenes (meaning “those that were before moon” in Greek)." Thanks a lot and I really have been enjoying this channel.

Besides, there are representations of the moon in prehistoric art, even of moon calendars... No, the moon was here before even the first hominids were around. Moon rocks have been brought back to earth, and been shown to be of similar composition. A large part of the moon is made of earth material, ejected from the cataclysmic event of its inception

    It’s crazy that the Nubians don’t get as much attention as the Egyptians when they were clearly in the same ball park technologically. It’s probably because the historians can’t convince people that the native Sudanese are not black, just like they tried to do with Egypt. I will proudly say that now the world has come to realise that the greatest civilisation known to man at this stage was created by black people, and shows that we have the most superior heritage known to man.

    @saoham659 Gribbled is right. Egyptologists and anthropologists think the great pyramid is 4500 years old because the hieroglyphs from the 4th dynasty and some carbon dating coincide at 4500 years. What is not widely understood and is that you can’t carbon date stone, you can only carbon date organic material between the stones, like the mortar holding the casing stones on. The hieroglyphs say they ‘built’ the pyramid in 20 years. But when you do the math, 2,300,000 stones weighing between 2 and 80 tons, 7300 days in 20 years, that’s 315 giant stones/day, at 8 tons per stone, you’d need 100 slaves per stone to move it, 12 working hours per day of sunlight on average, so that’s 26 giant stones per hour, that will require 100 slaves, that’s like 15,000 slaves, but the base is 10 times a big as the peak, and to make it in 20 years, you’d have to have 10 times as many workers at the beginning, so 150,000 working at once, perfectly coordinated, moving giant stones with no machinery or cranes, rain or shine, no days off. It doesn’t add up. What does add up is putting new casing stones on the outside of a pyramid that was already there since before the great flood, and taking credit for building something they inherited. Science knows this too. And only a few people like me and gribbled know and understand why it’s bullsh!t

    due to an incorrect perception by modern era archaeologists it was thought that the Kushites, Nubians etc were little more than Barbarians and Nomads with no advanced culture or capabilities, these same archaeologists said the same thing about all of the peoples in Europe who were not the Roman Empire, through Catholicism and the large number of archaeologists who over the years have been Catholic the idea that no one could be smart or advanced enough to make things unless they were from Rome, has persisted to taint all research into ancient peoples around the world, even the Australian Aboriginals were mocked when these "experts" first heard about boomerangs, the returning boomerang could not be made by design it had to be a accidental discovery because ancient people who are not "White" and of "Roman" heritage are too stupid and basic for advanced designs, thankfully the world is now seeing and proving how wrong and stupid these so called experts really were, many were little more than thieves and grave robbers but were allowed to get away with it because the were not digging up the people of their own countries and the people from they stole were considered nothing more than godless idiots who could not create a nice meal let alone delicate art and timeless constructions..... I have little respect for the archaeologists of yesteryear, but I have a ton of it for those who seek to find the truth that lost to the world through time and lies and fiction passed as reality.

    Egyptian pyramids have never been found to have tombs inside, that's a misconception. The tombs were in another area without pyramids. Archaeologists always assumed the pyramids were looted and that's why there were no mummies or signs of tombs in them. It seems these pyramids might have influenced what archaeologists expected to find in them.

    This was probably the real ancient Egypt amd it's true pyramids! When you look at the illustrations presented by ancient philosophers like Herodotus who actually visited ancient Egypt as it was and measured them, we begin to realize that these are the same structures he was describing! This is why the measurement of the pyramids made by Herodotus does not match the present day pyramids in modern day Giza. The ones he measured were mich taller than the ones in Giza.
