Sudan has more ancient pyramids than Egypt, with hundreds spread across sites such as El-Kurru, Nuri, Gebel Barkal, and Meroë. They are smaller and steeper than the famous Egyptian examples, but their number and historical range are extraordinary. Kush turned pyramid building into a long royal tradition.

In just the first 6 months of 2026, more than 9 ancient temples and sacred shrines in Japan have been destroyed by fires. Japanese people say this kind of thing never happened in previous decades. But it started right after the number of immigrants increased. Is this just a coincidence? Or is Japan’s centuries-old cultural heritage now at risk because of uncontrolled immigration?

To justify driving Palestinians off their land, settlers claim they’re destroying Sebastia’s ancient ruins and erasing Jewish heritage. Now that settlers have seized an archaeological site and started their own digs, their “respect” for the history there speaks for itself.

Ancient India beat the entire Earth to … EVERYTHING 🔥 Ancient India had the same megalithic tools as the Inca, the rock cutting abilities of the Nabateans (Petra), and the sophistication of ancient Egypt. It has more dolmens than Europe, more stone circles than Ireland, and it's very own Novello Tepe.

There are more pyramids outside of Egypt. The undisputed kings of the pyramid-building world, in number at least, were from the Kush Empire (Nubia) now Sudan. The truth is that pyramids at Meroe, modern Sudan, were built between 2,700 and 2,300 years ago with over 260 pyramids still existing in the region and many others are buried in the sand, most of these pyramids were once decorated with gold.

Russia has stolen 1.7 million items of Ukrainian cultural heritage — from ancient artifacts to museum collections. This is not mere looting; it is an attempt to erase Ukraine's identity. Russia’s war against Ukraine is also a war against our memory, culture, and our right to exist. The theft and destruction of Ukrainian heritage is Russia’s deliberate policy. We call on the international community to ensure accountability for these crimes and to protect Ukraine’s cultural legacy.
