20 pyramid ruins that once served as a royal cemetery for the ancient city of Meroe, which is home to more than 200 pyramids.
According to Ancient Organis, 16 pyramids as well as hills and terraces were discovered in the ancient Gimaton (modern Kawa).
The Nubians adopted the shape of the Egyptian pyramid, albeit smaller, with crowns at the top and people using them only for the royal family and not for commoners. Precious stones served as symbols of the sun like solar energy tablets, and Mount Barkal, a massive rock outcrop about 400 km (248 miles) from contemporary Khartoum, could be seen from a great distance away.
After conquering Kush, Pharaoh Tuthmosis the Third built a temple inside a plant at the fourth bend of the Nile River. Today, Amon Temple is situated there with Mount Burkel serving as its backdrop. The god Amon lived on the Mount of Burkel, according to Nubian belief.
The initial temple was greatly enlarged by King Bimkhekhi and his successors, who also built a road and stone rams to the royal walkway on the Nile.
