35 pyramids found in Sudan city of the dead

Feb 7 2013, 2:26pm CST | by Jeffrey B. Roth

Influenced by the grandeur of pyramids built by their Egyptian neighbors, citizens of the Kush kingdom, located in the modern country of Sudan, adopted the practice of using pyramids as part of their funerary architecture and practices. Scientists have located 35 of the small pyramids in a necropolis near the city of Sedeinga.

SEDEINGA, Sudan – At a necropolis in the Sudan, researchers have discovered at least 35 small pyramids, believed to have been built 2,000 years ago.

Vincent Francigny, a research associate and post-doctoral fellow of African Ethnology Anthropology with the American Museum of Natural History, New York, in an interview with LiveScience, said the small pyramids that are part of a large grave site were built when the kingdom of Kush, controlled that part of the African nation. The Kush people were influenced by Egyptian pyramids and constructed their own adopting the architecture as part of their funeral customs.

While dwarfed by Egyptian pyramids, the biggest Sudan pyramid is about 22 feet wide, some of them featured a circular inner cupola connected to the structure's corners by cross-braces. The smallest found, only 30 inches wide at the base, was probably built for a child's burial. After 2,000 years, the tops or apex of the pyramids, were damaged and eroded by wind and weather.

The practice, Francigny, who is the excavation director of the French Archaeological Mission there, said, became popular and over hundreds of years, more pyramids were built covering the entire area of the cemetery. The pyramids were discovered between 2009 and 2012.
