what were the pyramids of meroe used for?? please help i will give medals!
They were used as Royal Cemeteries
It was thought to believe I am pretty sure that the point and design of the temple allowed the spirit to ascend from royal pharaohs. The doors could only be locked from inside so that once the spirit had ascended it could choose to return or remain in the pyramids. There were based in what is now Sudan. There were 9 pyramids in east Sudan. Now it is also a tourist attraction. The design was specifically built for the ascension of the spirit.
They are royal cemeteries built at three differet points. South Cemetery features nine royal pyramids. Four of the pyramids belonged to Kings and five belonged to queens. One hundred and ninety-five other tombs complete the cemetery. North cemetery contains forty-one royal pyramids. Thirty belonged to kings, six to queens and five to other royals. The cemetery has three more non-royal tombs for a total of forty-four. West cemetery is a non-royal site. It contains some one hundred and thirteen tombs. a few moments ago
