Mystery in Sudan: The Lost Pharaohs | TRACKS
David Adams’ journey takes us into a Sudan we rarely see. On the flat waters of the Nile, he hears the creaking of the rigging catching the wind as river-travelers have for thousands of years. While the battlements of ancient fortresses standing on shore are occasional reminders of the region’s violent past, he is able to contemplate that era from the relative peace of the wide river.

The King of the Nile - The Shilluk (Nilotic Tribe Documentary) | TRACKS
We closely follow a change of throne in the Shilluk kingdom in this documentary.
The Shilluk are Nilotic people living along the Nile in Sudan. According to local history, their kingdom was founded in the 16th century by Nyikang who united the various groups living in the area. The Shilluk dynasty rules from the royal capital Pashoda and when there's a change of throne, the tradition requires specific acts where everyone in the tribe participates.
The documentary series “Disappearing World” was originally broadcasted between 1970-1975.
As an anthropological landmark of its time, the series tells the story of traditional communities endangered by the modern world’s progressions.
The series stands as a historical document of daily life in remote and threatened societies, such as the Cuiva, Embera and Panare Indians of Colombia, the nomadic Tuareg of the Sahara, the Kurdish Dervishes and the Meo of China.

Found Temples and Pyramids in Sudan
ANCIENT TEMPLE & PYRAMIDS OF MEROE
### All footage shot and edited with a smartphone (Tecno Camon CX) ###
There are over 200 pyramids in Sudan which predate the once in Egypt.
Went camping with some Sudanese, Kenyan and American friends and it was one of the most incredible times I've had here in Africa. The purpose of the camp trip was to promote camp life and adventure to Sudanese people, particularly women who have a disadvantage in doing what they love to do as their culture gives them a lot of restrictions, psychologically and lawfully.
We pitched our tents under the night sky with bright stars atop The ancient civilization of Meroe. Also got to climb Jebel Barkal where we oversaw the temples and the Nile. Temperatures reached a staggering 45 degrees but it was totally worth it.

There are More Pyramids in Sudan Than in Egypt #Africa ????????
The Mysterious pyramids of Sudan
There are more pyramids in Sudan (Nubia) than in Egypt (Kemet) #Africa
Pyramids in Africa are unique figures that symbolise beyond the advancement of Africa as a continent. Take for instance, till date many believe civilization started from Egypt. The Great Pyramid at Giza is the largest in the world, filling 13 acres at its base. At 481 feet tall, it was the tallest structure in the world until the advent of modern skyscrapers.
The pyramid builders used 2.3 million stone blocks, each weighing between 2.5 and 15 tons, to construct the Great Pyramid. Pyramids today stand as a reminder of the ancient Egyptian glorification of life after death, and in fact, the pyramids were built as monuments to house the tombs of the pharaohs. Death was seen as merely the beginning of a journey to the other world.
Inspired, and Heavily influenced by the Egyptians, is the Nubian pyramid of Sudan. The Nubian kings built their own pyramids 1000 years after Egyptian burial method had changed.
In a desert in eastern Sudan, along the banks of the Nile River, lies a collection of nearly 200 ancient pyramids—many of them tombs of the kings and queens of the Meroitic Kingdom which ruled the area for more than 900 years. The Meroë pyramids, smaller than their Egyptian cousins, are considered Nubian pyramids, with narrow bases and steep angles on the sides, built between 2,700 and 2,300 years ago.
Why are theses Pyramids mysterious: The Egyptians were the first humans to believe in After life. This first was the reason behind the creation of the pyramids. These pyramids were built over a millennium to serve as burial chambers for their royalty.
They believed that the pyramids eased the monarchs' passage into the afterlife, and the sites served as centers of religious activity.
Sudan, a trip between ancient monuments and amazing people.
Sudan is still a not common destination, but this incredible country boasts a rich thousand-years archaeological heritage that makes it absolutely fascinating. Taking a trip to Sudan means finding yourself catapulted into a pristine Africa, surrounded by ancient pyramids, desert landscapes, green and lush banks of the Nile, colourful markets and above all a smiling and friendly population that will make your journey a unique experience. Our trip starts from the bustling Khartoum and touches the most relevant attractions of the Nubian region, including the world-wide known Unesco Heritage site of Meroe.

Sudan National Museum in Khartoum, Sudan
Sudan National Museum in Khartoum, Sudan
The National Museum of Sudan is a double storied building constructed in 1955 and established as a museum in 1971. The building and its surrounding gardens house the largest and most comprehensive Nubian archaeological collection in the world including objects from the Paleolithic through to the Islamic period originating from every site of importance in the Sudan.
In particular it houses collections of these periods of the History of Sudan: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Kerma Culture, Kingdom of Egypt and medieval Makuria.
The museum is located on the El Neel (Nile) Avenue in Khartoum in Al-Mugran area near the spot where the White and the Blue Niles meet.
The National Museum holds many treasures of Sudan’s ancient and medieval past. They’re well presented and labelled, and give a good narrative of Sudanese history. Spread out over two floors, the ground floor starts with Sudan’s prehistory and covers the rise of Kerma and Kush in great detail. Kerma is particularly well represented through its famous pottery. The Kushite displays show the wide variety of cultural exchange in play throughout the kingdom. Egyptian culture is the strongest influence, shown particularly in the royal statues found at Jebel Barkal dating from around 690BC and the sarcophagus of Anlamani from his tomb at Nuri about 100 years earlier. A clear Hellenistic influence can be seen in the statue of the so-called ‘Venus of Meroë’ and a blue-glass chalice from Sedeinga, with depictions of gods and bearing a Greek inscription ‘You shall live’. A side room on the ground floor has space for temporary displays, often illustrating current archaeological digs.
The upstairs gallery holds the museum’s most unexpected displays – frescoes from Christian Nubia. Despite lasting for 700 years, Sudan’s early Christian kingdoms are little known to the outside world and repeated Sudanese governments have shown little interest in promoting this aspect of their history. I was as ignorant as most on my first visit, and was astounded to find beautiful frescoes depicting Christ and the Virgin Mary, along with a host of archangels, saints and apostles. The style of the frescoes is distinctly Byzantine, reflecting Nubia’s links with the Roman Empire in the east. Most were painted between the 8th and 14th centuries, and were taken from the cathedral at Faras, now submerged under Lake Nasser. The upstairs galleries can be a little dark, so you may want to take a torch with you in order to see the details in the frescoes.
