Uncover a city with over 200 pyramids.
This is Meroë, the ancient capital of the Kushite Kingdom, in Sudan’s Nile Valley.
The Kushites extended their influence over Nubia (an ancient region mostly covering Sudan and Southern Egypt) for more than 3000 years.

The Kushite Kingdom once covered over 1500 km of the Nile Valley; this included ruling over Egypt from around 760 to 656 BC.

Kushite rulers of that era are commonly called “the Black Pharaohs”.
Meroë became this civilization’s third and final capital around 590 BC.
This began what’s described as a golden age for the Kushites.

Today, the remains of more than 200 uniquely Nubian pyramids can be found in the Sudanese desert, as a lasting monument to a prosperous people. #africa
