The ‘forgotten’ pyramids in Sudan

When you think of pyramids, which is the first place you think of? I bet it would be the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Actually, I won’t hold thinking of the Egyptian pyramids against you. They are, after all, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Much like the Egyptians, their southern neighbours—the Sudanese—have their own pyramids scattered all over the country too. In fact, Sudan actually has twice as many pyramids as Egypt. The ancient pyramids of Giza were built somewhere between 2580 to 2560 BC, whereas the pyramids in Sudan were built only around 800 years later.
