I remember when a good friend of mine was working in Sudan a few years ago, she took a few days off to go visit these pyramids. Despite having been vandalised, they look amazing. Definitely on my "to-visit" list! EGYPT isn’t the only African country with ancient pyramids rising from its sands. In fact, there are more pyramids in one small section of the northern Sudanese desert than there are in the whole of Egypt. During Egypt’s 25th dynasty (760BC until 656BC), Meroe, now located in Sudan, was the capital of the Kingdom of Kush, ruled by Nubian kings who had conquered Egypt. Often overlooked in the history books, these black pharaohs presided over an empire that stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to present-day Khartoum. Click here for full article and photos!
