Step into the Meroë pyramids with Google

When you think of pyramids, do you think of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt? Each of the pyramids was built by a great civilization and their stories were written on the walls.

The Pyramids of Mero, in Sudan, are no different. The pyramids are a UNESCO World Heritage site and can be explored on the internet.

Over 200 pyramids were built in the third and final capital of the Kushite Kingdom, an ancient African civilization that ruled the lands of Nubia for over 3000 years.
