Afrikan architecture had survived in many independent Afrikan societies of the Caribbean and South America. Pictured below is Saramaka architecture in Suriname.

this triangle pattern, what was the significance of it?
this same pattern is used in places where there is alot of snow to prevent the structure from falling in-
Pyramidal designs Intwinaka have been a very clear standard part of Afrikan architecture for thousands of years and still continues. It is very hard to find an Afrikan culture that does not utilise the pyramidal design on their traditional architecture. Cultural continuity has always been prevalent in our culture, the pointed up shape of any house or temple is that it points up to the heavens to remind and revere them of their supreme being.

Pyramid structures are also known to amplify incoming energy signatures.
Mordern westernised box-houses keep the enery fields on the top of the rooms (away from the inhabitant) while pyramind housings have perfect distribution to reach the base where the inhabitants reside
Haven’t gone deep into this but it is also one of the influences for the design (if not the main)
This video shows the visual comparison

I thank you for the link firstly Ochiel and I did watch it and agree and knew. But what I am saying is that while pyramid building is an ancient Afrikan architecture that dates over 12,000 years ago, the more recent great pyramids of Giza are an example of stone pyramids serving technological functions for harnessing electricity. But Kemet was not the birth of civilisation, it was inner Afrika that Kemet got the idea of the pyramid structure they never invented them, copied them and improved science.
Many large houses and even Mausoleleums in inner Afrika is where it all started and the original purpose of them being built with adobe (natural materials) served as a temple that points up to the heavens to revere their supreme being. South Sudan were the first monumental size pyramids that were built and it was from there a science that had moved up the Nile along with civilisation from the great rivers beginning in Uganda/South Sudan all the way to the delta in Egypt (Kemet)…..science just kept improving with time.
