Do you know that there lies few pyramids outside Egypt as well? Yes I am talking about Nubian Pyramids.
They were built by rulers of Kushite and Egyptian kingdoms and before these there had been no pyramid construction in Egypt and Nile Valley.
According to wikipedia, The area of the Nile valley known as Nubia, which lies within present day Sudan, was home to three Kushite kingdoms during antiquity. The first had its capitol at Kerma from (2600–1520 BC). The second was centered around Napata from (1000–300 BC). Finally, the last kingdom was centered around MeroĆ«(300 BC–AD 300).
