A huge tent camp all around the city of Zalingei, (West Darfur) Sudan.
The current open conflict in Darfur began in 2003. This conflict, with its associated destruction of villages and livelihoods, led to widespread displacement, significantly exacerbating existing problems caused by a lack of development and minimal access to basic services. It is currently estimated that more than 2 million people have been displaced, with a total of over 3.6 million people in need of assistance.

Pyramids at the Royal Cemetery of El-Kurru
AlbinoFlea (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: AlbinoFlea.
From www.touregypt.net
After taking control of most of Egypt, Piye set out for Heliopolis to worship the sun god and celebrate his coronation as king of Egypt. There we are told that he:
"...stood by himself alone. Breaking the seals of the bolts, opening the doors; viewing his father Re in the holy Pyramidion House; adorning the Morning Bark of Re and the Evening Bark of Amun."
Afterwards, he returned to Napata where he founded a Nubian dynasty, Egypt's 25th, that would last for about a century. Upon his death, he became the first Egyptian king in 800 years to be buried in a pyramid. He built it at el-Kurru, about thirteen kilometers downstream from the Temple of Amun at Gebel Barkal, and his was the first of an estimated 223 pyramids that would be built in Nubia over the next thousand or so years. We think that his palace may have been located nearby, though it has never been unearthed. Between 1918 and 1919, George Reisner conducted excavations at el-Kurru, but by then only one pyramid was still standing. He found Plan and Sectional of Piye's Tomb at el Kurruunder low mounds of rubble the tombs of Piye and his successors of the 25th Dynasty, Shebaka, Shebitku and Tantamani. Their tombs had once been covered by pyramids, but by the early 20th century, they had been entirely removed.
These pyramids bore much more in common with the private ones that can still be found on the West Bank at Thebes (modern Luxor) than with the Great Pyramids of northern Egypt, though it is commonly assumed that he was inspired by the latter. Even though the superstructure of his own tomb had been removed, its foundation trench indicated a pyramid with a base length of only about eight meters, and a slope of probably about 68 degrees. Nineteen steps led down from the east to the burial chamber that was cut into the bedrock as an open trench and covered with a corbelled masonry roof. Piye's body had been placed on a bed that rested in the middle of the chamber on a stone bench with its four corners cut away to receive the legs of the the bed, so that the bed platform lay directly on the bench. This was probably a Nubian custom, though fragments of canopic jars were discovered, leading Egyptologists to believe that he was most likely embalmed in Egyptian style. There were also the remains of Shabti figures, more typically found in Egyptian tombs. There had been a chapel built over and covering the stairway to the burial chamber, but it too was completely destroyed.
The pyramid of his successor, Shebaka, had a similar layout although the burial chamber was completely subterranean, and included a vaulted ceiling cut in the natural rock. Here, the entrance to the pyramid itself was built far enough to the east to allow it to be entered after the mortuary temple was built. A stairway led down to a short tunnel that than led into the burial chamber.
Along with the kings of the 25th Dynasty, there were also fourteen queens' pyramids built at el-Kurru, measuring between six and seven meters square, actually only slightly smaller than the kings' pyramids, which measured from eight to eleven meters square.
Reisner also found the graves of 24 horses and two dogs nearby. Four of the horses belonged to Piye, and four more to Tantamani. Scholars speculate that they may have each belonged to a chariot team. There were also ten horses belonging each to Shebaka and Shebitku. All of the animals had been sacrificially decapitated, and their skulls were missing. They were each buried in a standing position, and their bodies were draped with beaded nets hung with cowrie shells and heavy bronze beads. They also had silver collars and gilded sliver plume holders. There is also some speculation whether these horses might correspond with the boat burials of earlier pyramids.

Suakin Island

Inscribed on the World Monument Fund's World Monuments Watch list of 100 Most Endangered Sites for 2006.
From
An island just off the Red Sea coast, Suakin may have been the site of the Roman port Evangelon Portus mentioned by Ptolemy. Arab traders, attracted by the promise of gold, settled on Suakin Island in the tenth century. By the fifteenth century, it was flourishing as a trading port of Mamluk Egypt and was inhabited by Venetian and Indian merchants until the Ottoman invasion of 1517. For the next three centuries, until the arrival of the British, the Ottomans oversaw major construction programs on the island, including distinctive coral buildings decorated with carved stone, elaborately decorated Rojan windows, and intricate plasterwork. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 briefly revived trade in and around Suakin and was responsible for a new round of construction of public buildings. Defensive walls and forts were built by the British to defend against rebel Sudanese Mahdist forces in 1870–1899. The construction of Port Sudan to the north of Suakin spelled the end of of the island’s livelihood, and it was largely abandoned by 1922.

Gebel Barkal (Jebel Barkal)
AlbinoFlea (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: AlbinoFlea.
From Wikipedia:
Jebel Barkal or Gebel Barkal (Arabic: جبل بركل) is a small mountain located some 400 km north of Khartoum, in Sudan, on a large bend of the Nile River, in the region called Nubia. Around 1450 BC, the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III extended his empire to that region and considered Gebel Barkal its southern limit. There, he founded the city of Napata that, about 300 years later, became the capital of the independent kingdom of Kush. The 25th Dynasty Nubian king Piye later greatly enlarged the New Kingdom Temple of Amun in this city and erected his Year 20 Victory stela within it.
The ruins around Gebel Barkal include at least 13 temples and 3 palaces, that were for the first described by european explorers in the 1820’s, although only in 1916 archeological excavations were started by George Reisner under a joint expedition of Harvard University and the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston. From the 1970’s, explorations continued by a team from the University of Rome La Sapienza, under the direction of Sergio Donadoni, that was joined by another team from the Boston Museum, in the 1980’s, under the direction of Timothy Kendall. The larger temples, such that of Amon, are even today considered sacred to the local population.
For these reasons, the mountain, together with the historical city of Napata and other ancient sites, were considered by UNESCO, in 2003, World Heritage Sites.
The mountain is 98 m tall, has a flat top, and apparently was used as a landmark by the traders in the important route between central Africa, Arabia, and Egypt, as the point where it was easier to cross the great river.

Southern Pyramid Field at Meroë
From Wikipedia:
Modern archaeology in Sudan has been impossible because of the on-going civil war. In the 19th century, after the ruins at Meroë had been described by several European travellers, some treasure-hunting excavations were executed on a small scale in 1834 by Giuseppe Ferlini, who discovered (or professed to discover) various antiquities, chiefly in the form of jewelry, now in the museums of Berlin and Munich.
The ruins were examined more carefully in 1844 by Karl Richard Lepsius, who brought many plans, sketches and copies, besides actual antiquities, to Berlin. Further excavations were carried on by E. A. Wallis Budge in the years 1902 and 1905, the results of which are recorded in his work, The Egyptian Sudan: its History and Monuments (London, 1907). Troops were furnished by Sir Reginald Wingate, governor of the Sudan, who made paths to and between the pyramids, and sank shafts, etc.
It was found that the pyramids were regularly built over sepulchral chambers, containing the remains of bodies either burned or buried without being mummified. The most interesting objects found were the reliefs on the chapel walls, already described by Lepsius, and containing the names with representations of queens and some kings, with some chapters of the Book of the Dead; some stelae with inscriptions in the Meroitic language, and some vessels of metal and earthenware. The best of the reliefs were taken down stone by stone in 1905, and set up partly in the British Museum and partly in the museum at Khartoum.
In 1910, in consequence of a report by Archibald Sayce, excavations were commenced in the mounds of the town and the necropolis by J. Garstang on behalf of the University of Liverpool, and the ruins of a palace and several temples were discovered, built by the Meroite kings.

Pyramids at the Royal Cemetery of Nuri
From www.narmer.pl:
The pyramid field of Nuri contained 21 kings together with 52 queens and princesess . The first to build his tomb at Nuri was king Taharqa. His pyramid had 51.75 m square and 40 or 50 m high. Taharqa subterranean chambers are the most elaborate of any Kushite tomb. The entrance was by an eastern stairway trench , north of the pyramid's central axis, reflecting the alignment of the original smaller pyramid. Three steps led to a doorway, with a moulded frame, that opened to a tunnel, widened and heightened into an antechamber with a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Six massive pillars carved from the natural rock divide the burial chamber into two side aisles and a central nave, each with a barrel-vaulted ceiling. The entire chamber was surrounded by a moat-like corridor entered steps leading down from in front of the antechamber doorway. After Taharqa 21 kings and 53 queens and princesess were buried at Nuri under pyramids of good masonry, using blocks of local red sandstone. The Nuri pyramids were generally much larger than those at el-Kurru, reaching heights of 20 to 30 m. The last king to be buried at Nuri died in about 308 BC.

Temple of Amun at Jebel Barkal (B500)
From www.dignubia.org:
Amun was a very mysterious god. His name meant “Hidden,” since no one could understand what he was really like. People thought of Amun as male and he was nearly always shown as a “god,” even though he could be both male and female.
Originally in Egypt, Amun was the chief god of the city of Thebes, capital of southern Egypt. When the kings of Thebes became kings of all Egypt about 1,550 BCE, Amun became “king of the gods.” It was not that Amun became the ruler of the older gods of Egypt, though. He simply “became” them, and they “became” him. He absorbed all of the other gods into himself, so that he became many gods. People believed that Amun was the god of Creation, the father of all the gods, the god of the sun, of fertility and of the Nile Inundation (flooding). They also thought that he was the true father of the king. In art, Amun was usually shown simply as a man wearing a kilt, jewels, and a crown with sun disk and two tall plumes.
When the Egyptians conquered Kush (northern Sudan) about 1,500 BCE, they found an ancient sun god already there. This god was identified with a ram. Immediately the Egyptians assumed this Kushite god was the most ancient form of Amun, and so they decided that Kush (Nubia) was where Amun was born. When the pharaohs pictured Amun in Kush, he had body of a man and the head of a ram.
The most important place where Amun was worshipped in Nubia was at a city called Napata, in front of a small steep mountain, today called Jebel Barkal (Mount Barkal). All the kings, Egyptian and Kushite, came to Jebel Barkal to honor Amun and to celebrate their coronations. In later times there was said to be an “oracle” in the great temple - a place through which the god spoke. Through his priests, Amun told the Kushite kings in which direction to march their armies and make war. It even told the kings when they must die! The people believed that Amun created all things, including the universe, time, and the seasons. As the sun, people believed that Amun sailed through the sky in a boat, changing identities as he passed through the hours of the day. In the morning he was a youthful sun, identified with the king, called Re-Harakhty (“Sun Horus in the Horizon”). At midday, he was the strong and mature sun god Re (or “Ra”). As he set, he was identified with the old or dying sun god Re- Atum, who during the night was thought to sail under the earth so as to be reborn again as a child sun at dawn. People believed that Amun ruled the heavens from east to west. The king, Amun’s son, ruled the earth from north to south. People thought that the king was an exact copy of Amun, which is why statues of Amun often have the same face as the reigning king.

Lion Temple at Naqa
From www.homestead.com/wysinger:
The Apedemak Temple at Naqa, Sudan is adorned with reliefs depicting the imposing figures of its builders, Queen Amanitore and King Natakamani doing homage to the three headed Nubian Apedemak lion god and crown prince Arikhankharer. Apedemak's function was that of god of war, which could be clearly traced in his appearance. In the scene of adoration, he is represented in a human shape with a lion's head. Apedemak's doubling of hands touches the king and queen with one pair of hands and at the same time another one is holding the bunch of plants. The worship of this god as a god of fertility stemmed from his being compared with the king responsible for the welfare of his people. The position of the two pairs of hands symbolizes the equal measures of good deeds which the God renders to the king and queen. This royal pair, who lived at about the time of Christ, resided over a Meroitic Golden Age, as the remains of numerous buildings bear their names. In the decorative scheme of this temple the figure of the queen appears just as prominently as that of her husband, providing a clear indication of the unusual status accorded women in the Meroitic monarchy.
