The Pyramids of Meroe are a large number of Nubian pyramids, and include three tombs near the ancient city of Meroe. The pyramids of Meroe date back to the later phase of the Kingdom of Kush and were burial places for the kings of Kush, other members of the royal family, senior officials and dignitaries. Together, the three cemeteries contain more than a thousand graves, including at least 147 pyramids.
