Es una tumba que contiene una cámara de enterramiento, pasajes, conductos de ventila- ción, etc. Es una proeza de la ingeniería. Fueron muchas centurias las que transcurrieron hasta que fue posi- ble la construcción de una verdadera pirámide. Existen aproximadamente cien pirámides en Egipto. Hace 500 años que los egipcios dejaron de construir pirámides. Los Nubios, quienes ocuparon Egipto alrededor del 1000 D.C., construyeron en Meroe otras doscientas pirámides, pero de mucho menor tamaño que las de Menfis. PALABRAS CLAVE: Pirámides, canteras, construcción, Egipto. ABSTRACT The Great Pyramid in Egypt built about two thousand years BC is not just a pile of stones. It is a grave containing a burial chamber, passages, and ventilation ducts, etc. It is an engineering feat. It took many cen- turies of experimentation till it was possible to build a true pyramid. There are about one hundred pyramids in Egypt. After about 500 years when the Egyptians stopped building pyramids, the Nubans who occupied Egypt around 1000 BC, built in Meroe another two hundred pyramids but far much smaller than those at Memphis.

Centered on the Nile in what is now northern Sudan, Kush was first named in Egyptian texts after 2000 BC. Kush was conquered by the armies of the Egyptian New Kingdom after 1500 BC and re-emerged after 800 BC, ruling an expanding area for more than 1000 years until its collapse after AD 300. Its contacts with the broader ancient world – Egypt in particular, but also Assyria, Persia, Greece, and Rome, variously encompassed trade and military conflict. Kush was, however, culturally distinct from its better- known northern neighbors, perhaps in part because of its environmental context – narrow agricultural areas along the Nile surrounded by desert, and distant from the connections facilitated by the Mediterranean – but also because of its distinctive historical and cultural trajectory (Edwards 1998; Emberling 2014) that included a significant component of mobility.

Rabie ♦♦♦ Inoduction: The Kingdom of Kush was established in the Sudan around the tenth century B.C (1) by local rulers and with local traditions (2). There was a conflict between priests of Amun and the king Tekeloth II in the Twenty Second Dynasty. Tekeloth II had some priests of Amun burned alive and forced some other priests to leave Thebes escaping to Napata (3). The sanity of the area of Napata to Amun and to Theban priests had been established by building an Egyptian temple for the god Amun at Jebel Barkal in the Eighteenth Dynasty. Jebel Barkal was considered as the home of the Ka of Amun, as was mentioned on a stela of Thutmos III (4). Some Scholars think that Amun of Napata was the origin of Amun of Karnak. Ancient Egyptians thought that Jebel -Barkal was the original place of Amun because of his pinnacle shape which ♦Cairo university, Faculty of archaeology, department of Egyptology.
