Removed clause regarding the position of the tomb in relation to the pyramid.[edit]

The section on the excavation of the tomb cites the National Geographic article, stating that the Kushite pyramids are different to those of Egypt because the tombs were located beneath the pyramid structure and not inside it. I have removed this because, while the source does say that, it is demonstrably false since the vast majority of Egyptian pyramids have subterranean burial chambers, as their respective articles on Wikipedia (citing more credible academic sources I might add) can attest. Only the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu (which was likely never occupied) feature burial chambers within the superstructure itself, probably because the larger volume of these than most Egyptian pyramids made internal chambers more viable, but these cases are exceptions to the rule and not the norm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Urge to Purge (talkcontribs) 16:16, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
