Meroe’s Royal Cemetery - Timewatch - BBC

The story of the Black Pharaoh’s turns full circle at Meroe’s magnificent Royal Cemetery in the shadow of some of Sudan’s 300 pyramids - three times as many as were built in Egypt. Meroe’s pyramids are a lasting testimony to the glory of Kush, the land of the Black Pharaohs that history forgot. Clip taken from the BBC Timewatch programme The Black Pharaohs.
