The pyramids of ancient Nubia (now The Sudan) are not usually highlighted in blogs, but are just as fascinating. There were about 223 pyramids built to honor Nubian kings, queens, priests, etc. in ancient Nubia and some of them still stand today.

Groups of pyramids in this region are at el-Kurru, Meroe and Nuri and though most were robbed in ancient times, rulers were mummified, covered with jewelry and laid in wooden mummy cases. The larger tombs still contain remains of weapons, furniture, pottery, metal vessels and other artifacts.
