Photographer’s Note
A small pyramid!
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,
Thank you for showing a different type of pyramid that I didn't know existed. The structure in front looks like it has either been added on to the pyramid, or has been restored/been taken care of much better than the pyramid; am I correct in observing this? It just looks a lot newer. The photo is very sharp, and the red sand contrasts nicely with the blue sky. The one thing I would suggest would be to retake the photo with the foremost pyramid off-center and to the right, so we could see what looks like more pyramids beyond; this could make the composition more interesting, but this is probably easier said than done. I hope this helps, and TFS,
Chelsea
