In a desert in eastern Sudan, along the banks of the Nile River, lies a collection of nearly 200 ancient pyramids.
The Meroe pyramids were built between 2,700 and 2,300 years ago and many of them are tombs of the kings and queens of the Meroitic Kingdom which ruled the area for more than 900 years.
