Mauritius Pyramids

Megalithic walls and hydraulic systems linked with Mauritius pyramids

 As for the structure of the pyramids on this island off the coast of Africa, they are platform pyramids made of volcanic rock with other stones worked into them, similar in design and size to the pyramids on Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.

All the pyramids have or had, signs saying ‘Protected by National Monument Fund’, which indicated that at one point they were all listed national monuments, and protected as such. Rightfully so, for their construction is clearly the work of man, and required great knowledge and workmanship. The corners of the structures are exact, the bases flat, and irregularities in the terrain were worked into the design to create a stable structure.
