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.

🇸🇩 Pyramids of Meroe, Sudan As the heart of ancient Nubia, these pyramids served as the capital of the Kingdom of Kush, built between the 3rd century BCE and 4th century CE using steeply sloped stone blocks. However, their distinctive flat tops are the result of tragic destruction; in 1834, Italian treasure hunter Giuseppe Ferlini used explosives to demolish the summits of over 40 pyramids in his ruthless search for hidden gold.

“This site in Peru has 16 pyramids carved out of bedrock.” This independent researcher just uncovered an ancient mystery that no one is talking about. And he’s convinced that it provides clear evidence of an ancient advanced civilization. It blew Joe Rogan’s mind. Raul Bilecky: “The Purulen Pyramids … this site, I think, is deserving of future study.” “It’s a site that has 16 platform pyramids.” “This is right on the ocean, which means this has been inundated for millennia by tsunamis.” “There was one study done on this, and it was a brief survey in 1970.” Rogan: “That’s it?” Bilecky: “Yeah.” “All of these pyramids are carved out of the bedrock.” Rogan: “How old is this site supposed to be?” Bilecky: “They found one piece of pottery.” “They’re saying 1800 BCE, because that’s right around when pottery started.” “But in that [1970] report, he says it’s likely older.” “I would stake everything on it being much older.” Bilecky: “My footage is the only modern media in existence of some of these sites.” Rogan: “How are they carving these pyramids out of the bedrock?” “That’s crazy!” Joe Rogan Pillars of the Past

🚨 UNESCO CONSIDERS RECOGNIZING AN ANCIENT JEWISH KINGDOM AS “PALESTINIAN HERITAGE” UNESCO is considering recognizing Sebastia, ancient Shomron, the capital of the Kingdom of Israel nearly 3,000 years ago, as “Palestinian heritage.” HUH?!? An agency created to protect world history is being used to strip one of Judaism’s most important ancient sites of its Jewish identity. Rebranding the capital of an ancient Jewish kingdom as a Palestinian heritage is ideological warfare against the Jewish people.
