Nubian Pyramids, Jebel Barkal, Sudan
The Nubian pyramids were build by the Kushite kingdoms in Nubia – an area in the Nile valley. Today this area is in Sudan, but at the time of their construction it was part of Egypt. Jebel Barkal is a small mountain in Nubia that served as a royal cemetery where kings and queens were burried in pyramids. These pyramids date back to the 3rd century BC, and they were the first Egyptian pyramids to be built for more than 500 years.
