Sudan has the most pyramids of any country in the world, surpassing even Egypt. While Egypt is renowned for the well-known pyramids at Giza, Sudan’s pyramids are located primarily in the region of Nubia, particularly near the ancient city of Meroë. These pyramids were built as tombs for the kings and queens of the Kingdom of Kush, which ruled over Nubia for centuries. The Sudanese pyramids are smaller and steeper than their Egyptian counterparts, and they feature unique architectural styles and decorations. Today, they are recognized as a significant historical and archaeological site, attracting attention from researchers and tourists interested in ancient civilizations.
