Welcome to the CIS page on Ekoi Monoliths (Akwanshi Stones)
Deep in Cross River State stand the Ekoi Monoliths—stone figures carved with human faces, quietly watching over the land. These stones are believed to represent ancestors, marking graves or sacred spaces. Some have detailed hairstyles and markings, suggesting they once represented real people. Standing among them feels like being surrounded by silent guardians of the past, preserving the memory of those who came before.
