Nubian Pyramids - The Structure of Royalty

Meroe Pyramids of Sudan is a completely different civilization, the Kush, built a completely different sort of pyramid by the city of Meroe. Less vast monuments and more very large gravestones, the graveyards in Meroe contain over fifty pyramids for royalty, set within a vast, rocky desert landscape.

Due to politics, Sudan can be a difficult place to travel, but the Meroe graveyard is nothing short of chilling, when you consider the rich Nubian history and the modern-day constant civil war. If you’re interested in the Meroe architecture but don’t want to travel there, consider visiting the Pyramid of Cestius in Rome – the Romans copied Nubian architecture.
