This is the country with the most pyramids in the world!

When people think of pyramids, most people immediately think of Egypt and Mexico, countries known for their impressive monuments. However, few people know that another African country, Sudan, has a much larger number of pyramids than Egypt itself, preserving an equally rich and mysterious history.

In northeast Africa, the kingdom of Kush flourished between 2600 BC and 300 AD, building a civilization that had a major impact on the region. The Kushites, who ruled from what is now Sudan, built more than 200 pyramids, scattered at archaeological sites such as Meroe and Napatam.

Unlike the Egyptian pyramids, the Sudanese pyramids are smaller and more steeply shaped, but they retain a unique beauty and history. They served as tombs for Kushite kings and nobles, showing the grandeur of this forgotten empire.

Despite their historical importance, the pyramids of Sudan are not as visited as those of Egypt. However, they remain a powerful testament to a developed civilization that once rivaled ancient Egypt.

Today, archaeologists continue to uncover new secrets about the kingdom of Kush, bringing to light Sudan's rich history as one of the countries with the most extraordinary pyramid heritage in the world.
