Sudan has the most pyramids in the world.
While Egypt is often associated with pyramids, Sudan boasts approximately 220 extant pyramids, significantly more than the roughly 138 located in Egypt. These Nubian pyramids were constructed at three different sites in Sudan and served as tombs for the kings and queens of the Kingdom of Kush, specifically those from Napata and Meroë. The Nubian pyramids are generally smaller and steeper than their Egyptian counterparts. Their construction dates back to around 300 BC, much later than the Egyptian pyramids.
