An
amazing
site
most
people
don't
know
about,,
Its
super
nice
,
have
facilities
bath
rest
area
and
souvenir
shops
.
What’s
most
special
about
the
Meroe
pyramids
is
that
they
were
built
in
the
Nubian
style,
a
combination
of
Egyptian
cultural
forms
with
African
influences.
The
pyramids
of
Meroe
are
marked,
mainly,
by
their
steep
slopes
and
small
bases…
a
marked
difference
from
Egyptian
pyramids.
Nubia
was
frequently
at
war
with
Egypt
and
ruled
its
territories
when
it
was
weak.
Vice
versa,
when
Nubia’s
military
was
shaky,
it
was
ruled
and
governed
by
Egypt.
Many
of
the
pyramids
held
the
tombs
of
the
kings
and
queens
of
the
Meroitic
Kingdom
which
ruled
the
area
for
more
than
900
years.
The
decorative
accents
and
elements
on
the
inner
walls
of
the
pyramids
often
feature
hieroglyphics
from
Pharaonic,
Egyptian,
Greek,
and
Roman
cultures.
The
dead
bodies
were
mummified
and
covered
with
jewelry
before
they
were
laid
in
wooded
cases
to
forever
rest.
Among
the
many
artifacts
found
during
archaeological
expeditions
in
the
19th
and
20th
century
were
pottery,
wooden
boxes,
rings,
metal
vases,
remains
of
bows
and
arrows,
and
colored
glass.
These
items
prove
without
doubt,
that
the
Nubian
civilization
had
trade
connections
with
both
Egypt
and
the
Hellenistic
world.
