“This is the pyramid that was blown up by dynamite.”
In the 1830s, an Italian treasure hunter came here in search of the jewels buried in the pyramids. He blew off the tops…destroying the centuries-old heritage.
But there's still a lot to see. And young Sudanese are making the journey and braving the desert.
“You as a Sudanese, you need to know your history, your culture, you to be proud about it. You have to tell other people about your history - about how big is it. So you have to see it with your own eyes before you tell it to other people.”
The pyramids remain largely unguarded, even though this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There's a rich history here to protect… and perhaps even more to discover.
一段隐藏已久并鲜为人知的历史再次受到关注。这些位于现代苏丹共和国的努比亚金字塔约建于公元前四世纪。
这些金字塔比埃及的金字塔要小得多,但苏丹称自己所拥有的金字塔数量近乎埃及的两倍。
这里曾是库施王国一座主要城市的所在地,这些金字塔是作为历任国王及王后的陵墓而建成的。如今,该遗址大多已被人忘记。
但新一代的年轻人正在帮助追回这段历史。与此同时,他们也在创造自己的历史。

“当时我很惊讶地发现,没有任何人在维护这些无人问津的建筑。这里蕴含着我们祖先的古代史。我还从我的家人口中听到了有关这里的故事,他们说这些地方曾由女性主导,还曾见证了许多伟大的文明社会。我想更多地了解这里,比如怎样保护这些建筑,怎样让世界各地的人们了解更多与其相关的事情。”
