They were built long after the pyramids of Egypt.
How they “rival” the pyramids of Egypt the article does not explain.
“...as impressive as their more famous counterparts in Egypt..”
No they are not. Not even remotely.
These are much smaller, look mud-bricked, and came much later than the originals.
BUT...an interesting read and thanks for posting.
Much like the West is mimicked today in all things, likewise were the Egyptians, the Greeks, and later the Romans in their days.
More play to the historical revisionists that claim Western Civ did nothing other than appropriate culture/tech from non-Western antecedents.
Again, thanks for posting.
You can count on media to always be pimping anything Negroes have done.
Can someone post the globe distribution IQ map?
Rival the pyramids of Egypt? Are you serious? They’re a hell of a lot smaller.
The pyramids of Sudan do not rival those of Egypt. The people of Sudan probably had better things to do than create artificial mountains to honor dead kings, not that they were incapable of doing so. I personally think that the pyramids were a monumental waste of effort when they could have built roads, fortresses or canals but the Egyptian pyramids are man-made marvels.
“Sanctions against the government of longtime President Omar al-Bashir over Sudan’s long-running internal conflicts...”
I’m going to go out on a limb and posit that tourists are discouraged not by the sanctions, but by the persistence of violent conflict and oppressive government. It’s not Chicago, but there’s still a reasonable chance of meeting a violent end in an unlovely place.
They must be invisible pyramids as there was no photos at the site. I do not count that thumbnail they have in upper left.
Nubian, or expansion of Southern Egypt?
