Sudan Has Twice As Many Pyramids than Egypt

Sudan has more pyramids that Egypt. But steeper and smaller than those of ancient Egypt.

Nubian pyramids differ from Egyptian. They are built of stepped courses of horizontally positioned stone blocks and range from approximately 6 to 30 meters (20-98 ft) in height and result in tall narrow structures.
