We just learned about the Musawwarat Es Sufra temple in Sudan.
Another group of ancient African sculptures are the Nubian Pyramids in Sudan.
These pyramids were built a few at a time over thousands of years, from 2000 BC to 300 AD.
They are made of granite and sandstone, and some of them are about 100 feet tall and 26 feet wide.
Over 350 pyramids have been found so far, over hundreds of miles.
The pyramids are all tombs for ancient kings and queens.
Sadly some people that were greedy and hunting for treasure came to these pyramids and destroyed over 40 pyramids looking for treasure, even sometimes using dynamite to blow them up.
Many of the pyramids have still not been fully explored, because they are flooded and the walls collapse.
