The dense concentration is surprising to researchers, who in 2011 found 13 pyramids clustered closely together in a 5,381 square feet area, slightly larger than an NBA basketball court. They date back around 2,000 years to a time when the kingdom of Kush flourished in Sudan. Kush shared a border with Egypt and was influenced by Egyptian funerary architecture. The structure of the pyramids are designed with a circle built inside them and cross-braces connecting the circle to the corners of the pyramid. There is only one pyramid outside of Sedeinga known to have been built in the same style. The largest pyramid found is seven meters wide at its base, while the smallest is only 750 millimeters long.
