That is nice @mstfa - this forum is for discussing photographic techniques, perhaps you might like to share some of your images in the Share Photos and Discoveries board?
Always read the headline post about what the board is for. I will move this post to that board now.

Hey @mstfa,
These photos are so cool! Thanks for sharing. Do you mind telling us more about the pyramids in the last picture?

About 220 pyramids were built in three areas of Nubia as the tombs of the kings, queens of Nabata and Mero, who ruled the kingdom of Kush. The first pyramids were built in the Kru region. It includes the tombs of the Malakashta and his son Biya or Ankhi, with shrines to commemorate Shabaka and Tannout Amani, and the pyramids of 14 queens.
Later pyramids were built in Nuri, on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Nubia. This cemetery included the graves of 1 king and 52 queen and princess. The oldest and largest of the pyramids of Nuri is the king of the prophet and Pharaoh the twenty-fifth family, the pharaoh Taharaqa.
The most densely built Nubian pyramids site is Marwa, located between the fifth and sixth waterfalls of the Nile, about 200 km north of Khartoum within Sudan's borders. During the irrigated period more than forty kings and queen were buried there.
The size and dimensions of the pyramids of Nubia differ significantly from those of the Egyptian Pyramids. They are much smaller and are thought to have been built with the designs of the old Nubian buildings: they were built with terraces of stones laid horizontally, with heights ranging from 6 to 30 meters. It rises from a relatively small base rarely more than eight meters wide. Forming long pyramids that descend at an angle of about 70 degrees. Most of them have Egyptian-inspired altars at their bases. By comparison, Egyptian pyramids with the same height have a base of at least five meters and descend at angles ranging from forty to fifty degrees.
