The Chronology and Attribution of Royal Pyramids at Meroe and Gebel Barkal: BEG N 8, BEG N 12, BAR 5 and BAR 2

A new approach to dating Meroitic royal pyramids, avoiding circular reasoning, reveals that BEG N 12 belongs to King Taneyidamani and challenges the attribution of BAR 2 to King Teriteqas. By analyzing chapel relief decorations for continuity and change, researchers propose a revised sequence for pyramids BEG N 8, N 9, and N 10. This method leverages visual analysis of Reisner's excavation data, offering plausible solutions to longstanding chronological uncertainties in Meroe's royal pyramid chronology.
