Pyramids in the distance

Date taken: Friday 5thJuly 2002 Location: Meroe, The Sudan.

Brief description: Unlike the pyramids in Egypt, the Kush pyramids are smaller with a more acute angle. The construction is also different. Instead of chambers within the structure to contain the deceased and any artifacts. The pyramids of the Kush are much more simple. The deceased and any artifacts are simply buried and the structure erected on top.
