There Are Many Pyramids At Nuri
The pyramid in question is only one of many at Nuri. The huge structures are all part of a bigger complex first built during the Napatan period. The pyramids were built in the dry parts on both sides of the Nile, which had once been a part of the ancient region of Nubia. Like others found in the area, these huge structures are characterized by architecture and art features unique to the region surrounding Nuri.

It Is A UNESCO World Cultural Site
Thanks to how unique the area is, UNESCO has collectively recognized the area as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 2003. The Gebel Barkel is the mountain near the area, and it is significant to both the current residents and those that lived there several millennia ago. There was a point when the Egyptian people thought that the god Amon lived in that mountain!
