Search for the treasury Photo

Photographer’s Note

I wanted to show you these pyramids that were destroyed in search for hidden treasury!

These pyramids are located in Sudan.

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, Monsef!
A very good shot, which shows the resuts of human geediness. How sad it is to see pointless destructions of buildings that were created thousands of years ago by many people.
