The pyramids of Meroë are not from 3000BC but much younger.
The picture below shows the Shanidar cave in Iraq (not Europe) at least 40.000 years ago, not in 3000BC.
In 3000BC there were no pyramids in Egypt.
In 3000BC Bronze Age Europeans had houses.

Si de las pirámides del Antiguo Egipto no se sabe bien cómo se levantaron, de las PIRÁMIDES DE MEROE (las de los reinos nubios), sí.
Se construían con un SHADUF (un cigoñal) cimentado en el centro de su base.
Por eso son empinadas.
