Pyramids, Jebel Barkal, Sudan, North-east Africa
The Nubian pyramids may be characterised by smaller scale, with steeper slopes, but they are far more numerous, considerably more standardised and owned by more members of the royal households (and probably non-royals as well) than the classical Egyptian pyramids. When the Nubians stopped building them, the pyramid as a marker for a royal tomb would be no more. Pyramids 5 and 6.
