We find this in every major city across our planet. In both old photographs and when we walk around the city today. Windows buried halfway or almost completely into the ground.

We find steps leading down to entrances below the ground level

We find first floor entrances raised from the ground level.

When you see it the first time, you can't unsee it. You begin to see it everywhere.

Walking along these muddy nineteenth century roads, I imagine a child would ask the mother. "Mum, why did they build the windows so close to the ground?"

And what an excellent question. Why are the windows on ground level?

The evidence begins to get more interesting...

UCHIHAmask:

What does this abbreviations mean?
IS-BE
ET

IS-BE means a being that has a soul, or more precisely, a being that is a soul. Because we are all souls that inhabit a body. We don't have a soul, we are souls.

ET is an abbreviation for Extraterrestrial.

To be honest, I feel like gobbling up all the information you've gathered at once. Your pace is slow and I haven't seen much, trying to do my own research. Since you're not responding to mails I'll just ask here. Is there any chance that you're based in Abuja and would be open to meeting in person?

I'm not responding to mails because my email isn't linked to my Nairaland account. I use throwaway emails.

I don't reside in Nigeria.

We must venture a little further into this cities and look a little closer. There must be some clues waiting to be uncovered that helps us understand why these cities are empty.

Follow me on this journey to find the truth.

28 years is a long time. I like to believe Nigeria would be drastically different in twenty eight years time

Twenty eight years is a short time if you don't have the technology we have today or the population. These people had no modern technology, no power tools, no automatic manufacturing, no electric motor? Yet they were able to build a spralling city like this? Look at the enormity of the city. It could very well carry people in their millions.

And again, such quietness such stillness. This is a photograph of an empty city. Where are all the people?

The shadow of the post in one of the photos below tells us that this is not the early hours of the morning. Short shadows only appear towards midday. A city of this scale should be bustling with life. But there is not a single person in the shot of this panaroma.

It seems highly unlikely that all the people were told to stay indoors because a city scape photoshot was taking place.

And this silent scene becomes all the more eerie when we consider that there is intention behind the lens. Someone is standing there at a vantage point and taking this photograph. But who and for what?

And what are the chances that in the 19th century during previous decades we see deserted cities in Europe photographed like this. And then a few years later we find the same locations bustling with people.

San Francisco in Eight seventy seven

In Eighteen fourth six, there were under five hundred Mormon settlers living in the area we call sanfrancisco. It was a frontier land and ready for the taking

Between Eighteen fourty eight and Eighteen fourty nine, with the start of the carlifonia gold Rush, the population increased from one thousand people to twenty-five thousand people. Twenty eight years later this paranomic image was taken. The population at this time, we are told, was getting close to two hundred thousand.

Who in their right minds would believe this story? Does this look like a city of two hundred thousand people? Without any modern technology, power tools, automatic manufacturing, electric motor? A people still in a strange land just making their mark? Do we really believe that a burgeoning people built this entire city in just thirty years?

Banned again. Stupid bot
