When people talk about pyramids, most people talk about the ones in Egypt and Mexico. But did you know that there are pyramids located in Sudan. The are collected called the Nubian Pyramids. The Pyramids were build be the Kushite Kingdoms South of Egypt. That region was dominated the Kerma Kingdom (2500 BCE-1500 BCE), Napata or Nubia (1000-300 BCE) and Meroe (300 BCE-300 AD). All 3 kingdoms made pyramid in their time of power. These pyramids were made from granite and sandstone. Sadly most were partly destroyed by the Italian explorer, Giuseppe Ferlini in the 1830s CE. I did find a few photos of the Nubian Pyramids.
