An updated and extended version of this video clip can be found here:
Meroë is an ancient city on the east bank of the Nile approximately 200 km north-east of Khartoum, Sudan. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Kush for several centuries. The site of the city of Meroë is marked by more than two hundred pyramids in three groups, of which many are in ruins. They have distinctive size and proportions of Nubian pyramids.

Sudan, the Royal Necropolis of Meroe
Situated approximately 250 kilometres northeast of Khartoum near the banks of the River Nile, the Royal Necropolis of Meroe is the most famous and visited archaeological site in all of Sudan. UNESCO Heritage site from 2011, Meroe boasts around 100 pyramids surrounded by the golden sand of the desert that stand out with their shapes against the clear sky, giving the visitor the sensation of still discovering a long-hidden secret. Located in a strategic position that allowed easy access to trade routes leading towards the Red Sea, Ethiopia and sub-Sahara Africa, the settlement of Meroe became the most important political centre of the Kushite kingdom around the third century BC. During this century, the Royal Necropolis was moved to this area from Napata where it remained until the 350 AD when Meroe suddenly vanished.

The Nubian Pyramids of Meroe
In late October 2021, we were thrilled to visit the Nubian pyramids of Meroe in north Sudan. We viewed them here - in the beautiful red-orange hue of sunset. A fitting time to visit the burial place of the Nubian kings.
Up on a desert cliff not far from the banks of the Nile River, lies nearly 200 ancient pyramids — many of them tombs of the kings and queens of the Meroitic Kingdom which ruled the area for more than 900 years (750 BCE to 350 CE) . The Meroë pyramids, smaller than their Egyptian cousins, sport narrow bases and steep angles on the sides. They are deeply inspired by the culture of Pharaonic Egypt.

Meroe Pyramids in River Nile State, Sudan
Meroe Pyramids in River Nile State, Sudan
Meroë is an ancient city on the east bank of the Nile about 6 km north-east of the Kabushiya station near Shendi, Sudan, approximately 200 km north-east of Khartoum. Near the site are a group of villages called Bagrawiyah. This city was the capital of the Kingdom of Kush for several centuries. The Kushitic Kingdom of Meroë gave its name to the Island of Meroë, which was the modern region of Butana, a region bounded by the Nile, the Atbarah and the Blue Nile.
Egypt's iconic ancient pyramids are famous around the world and are undoubtedly one of the biggest draws for visitors to North Africa. The Great Pyramid of Giza, for example, is recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and remains one of Egypt's most popular tourist attractions. In comparison, Sudan's Meroë Pyramids are relatively unknown; and yet, they are less crowded, more numerous and steeped in fascinating history.
Situated approximately 250 kilometers northeast of Khartoum near the banks of the River Nile, the ancient city of Meroë is home to almost 200 pyramids. Constructed out of large blocks of sandstone in the Nubian style, the pyramids look quite different to their Egyptian counterparts, with smaller bases and more steeply sloped sides. However, they were built for the same purpose - to serve as a burial site and statement of power, in this case for the kings and queens of the ancient Meroitic Kingdom.
Incredible History
Built between 2,700 and 2,300 years ago, the Meroë Pyramids are a relic of the Meroitic Kingdom, also known as the Kingdom of Kush. The kings and queens of this period ruled between 800 BC and 350 AD and held sway over a vast area that included most of the Nile Delta and reached as far south as Khartoum. During this time, the ancient city of Meroë served as the kingdom's southern administrative center and later as its capital.
The first Egyptian pyramids pre-date the oldest structures at Meroë by almost 2,000 years and probably provided inspiration for their architects. In fact, early Meroitic culture was heavily influenced by that of Ancient Egypt, and it seems likely that Egyptian artisans were commissioned to help build the pyramids at Meroë. However, the aesthetic differences between the pyramids at both locations show that the Nubians also had their own distinct style.
The Pyramids Today
While carved reliefs within the pyramids show that Meroitic royalty were likely mummified and buried along with a rich trove of treasures including precious jewelry, weapons, furniture and pottery, the pyramids at Meroë are now bare of such ornaments. Much of the tombs' treasure was looted by grave robbers in ancient times, while the unscrupulous archaeologists and explorers of the 19th and 20th centuries removed what was left in a series of excavation efforts.
Most notoriously, an Italian explorer and treasure hunter named Giuseppe Ferlini caused irreparable damage to the pyramids in 1834. Upon hearing of the stashes of silver and gold still rumored to be hidden within some of the tombs, he used explosives to blow the tops off several pyramids and to level others to the ground. In total, it is thought that he vandalized more than 40 different pyramids, later selling his findings to museums in Germany.
Despite their careless treatment, many of Meroë's pyramids still stand although some are decapitated as a result of Ferlini's efforts. Others have been reconstructed and give a wonderful insight into how they must once have looked during their heyday.
