Nuri Pyramids

Le Piramidi di Nuri si trovano vicino ad un piccolo villaggio non lontano dalla città di Karima, sull'altra sponda del Nilo. Sono state costruite tra 664 e il 300 a.C. e contenevano le mummie di 19 Re e 54 Regine dell'impero di Kush. Queste piramidi erano più grandi di quelle di Karima e la più alta superava i 40 metri. Oggi purtroppo non sono in buone condizioni e quasi tutte sono crollate e sepolte sotto la sabbia. Luogo comunque molto suggestivo e interessante dal punto di vista storico.
