There are More Pyramids in Sudan Than in Egypt #Africa 🇸🇩
The Mysterious pyramids of Sudan
There are more pyramids in Sudan (Nubia) than in Egypt (Kemet) #Africa Pyramids in Africa are unique figures that symbolise beyond the advancement of Africa as a continent. Take for instance, till date many believe civilization started from Egypt. The Great Pyramid at Giza is the largest in the world, filling 13 acres at its base. At 481 feet tall, it was the tallest structure in the world until the advent of modern skyscrapers.
The pyramid builders used 2.3 million stone blocks, each weighing between 2.5 and 15 tons, to construct the Great Pyramid. Pyramids today stand as a reminder of the ancient Egyptian glorification of life after death, and in fact, the pyramids were built as monuments to house the tombs of the pharaohs. Death was seen as merely the beginning of a journey to the other world.
Inspired, and Heavily influenced by the Egyptians, is the Nubian pyramid of Sudan. The Nubian kings built their own pyramids 1000 years after Egyptian burial method had changed.
In a desert in eastern Sudan, along the banks of the Nile River, lies a collection of nearly 200 ancient pyramids—many of them tombs of the kings and queens of the Meroitic Kingdom which ruled the area for more than 900 years. The Meroë pyramids, smaller than their Egyptian cousins, are considered Nubian pyramids, with narrow bases and steep angles on the sides, built between 2,700 and 2,300 years ago.
Why are theses Pyramids mysterious: The Egyptians were the first humans to believe in After life. This first was the reason behind the creation of the pyramids. These pyramids were built over a millennium to serve as burial chambers for their royalty.
They believed that the pyramids eased the monarchs' passage into the afterlife, and the sites served as centers of religious activity.
