Sedeinga pyramids
The Sedeinga pyramids are a group of 35 small pyramids near Sedeinga, Sudan, built ca. 1 BCE. They were discovered between 2009 and 2012 and date to the time of the Kingdom of Kush. 〔 They range in size from about 22 feet to 30 inches wide.〔
==Location==
The Sedeinga Pyramid site is located in Northern Sudan on the west bank of the Nile River, not far from the Egyptian border. It lies 450 miles northwest of Meroe, the Meroitic period capital of the Kingdom of Kush, where similar pyramids have been found. Isolated from the greater part of Kush, Sedeinga is found alone in the desert along an ancient trade route. This route connected the Kingdom of Kush directly with middle Egypt, suggesting that Sedeinga may have been a trade settlement. Located not far from the Egyptian border, Sedeinga would have had first access to the goods brought by Egyptian traders, which might explain the origin of the wealth demonstrated in the burial pyramids.〔Powell, Erica A.
