 Nubian pyramids   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The area of the Nile valley known as Nubia that lies within present day Sudan was home to three Kushite kingdoms during antiquity: the first with its capital at Kerma (2400–1500 BC), that centered on Napata (1000–300 BC) and, finally, that of Meroë (300 BC–300).
The Napatan domination of Egypt was relatively brief — ending with the Assyrian conquest in 656 BC, but its cultural impact was enormous, and this coalesced into an extraordinary burst of pyramid-building activity that was sustained throughout the existence of Napata's successor kingdom, Meroë.
Approximately 220 pyramids were eventually constructed at three sites in Nubia to serve as tombs for the kings and queens of Napata and Meroë.
