Alikua Pyramid is a 3-metre high, conical, stone and mud structure built by the Belgian colonialists in Alikua Village, Yivu Subcounty, Maracha in Uganda during 1911.[1] Two Belgian colonial officers are buried at the Alikua Pyramid, including Captain Von Kirkhoven. Local reports also identify other colonial-era burials in the vicinity with names such as Capt. Lingolingo and Atandi, but their exact association with the pyramid structure itself has not been conclusively documented in historical sources.[2]
