Sudan 42 |

In 2003 one of the teams discovered a pyramid:
"The discovery of a pyramid, with its offering chapel and enclosure wall, dating to the early Kushite period (c. 8th - 5th century BC) was totally unexpected. It was constructed of large blocks of granite apart from the capstone, which was of yellow Nubian sandstone and had a square socket in the top presumably for a finial. Most of the pyramid was dismantled when the tomb, which lay beneath it, was plundered."

This pyramid is now going to be relocated to a new museum of the 4th Cataract (to be built somewhere near Nuri). This required a two of us to spend a couple of days numbering all the stones so it could be reconstructed in the right order.
