Nsude Pyramids



Nsude Pyramids were ten sacred pyramid structures built by the Nri/Ndi Igbo people in Nsude and Agbaja Qwa. Each structure is a step pyramid of 5 circular stacks (why 5?) with decreasing circumference, very similar to the step pyramid of Saggarah in Egypt. The measurement reveals 6o feet circumference base with 6 feet height. The Nri people were great travelers and were also involved in the long distant tran Saharan trade. If the Sahara desert as we know it today was once a tropical rain forest, then we can conclude that it was once populated with people. Thus, the flow of ideas and people from the North East corridor of the planet to the other parts and vice versa is an obvious possibility.
