Photo from Sudan's pyramids
On the way from Khartoum to Port Sudan, about 200 km north-east of Khartoum, near Bagrawiya, lies ancient Meroe, the home of a few dozens pyramids spread over a small hill about one quarter square kilometer in size. The pyramids, much smaller than their well-known counterparts in Egypt, are the remains of a royal cemetery from the Meroitic kingdom (between 300 B.C. and 300 A.D.). |

Hi Moncef,
nice capture with very well omposition, light and colors. You could give few data from its condition. For example how large is it? Why did the back side break down?
Thanks for sharing.
Bahram
