Did you know? Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt — over 200 of them. Built by the Kushite and Meroitic kingdoms, and still standing strong today.

🦁 This “City of Iron” was called Meroë, a magnificent metropolis of the ancient Kingdom of Kush located in modern-day Sudan. Flourishing from 750 BCE to 350 CE, this UNESCO World Heritage Site grew into a prosperous trade hub, so wealthy that it once tempted the Persian Empire to conquer it.

In the Cushitic kingdom of Meroe, which stretched from Nubia in the Nile Valley to near today's Khartoum, the Eyptian hieroglyphic writing system was the only script until 200 BCE (Bechhaus-Gerst 1996:28) It had some influence on the modified hieroglyphic Meroitic script, which was developed only then, at the last stage of the kingdom around 200 BCE. According to Rilly (2004) it was used until 420 CE, when the Meroitic language gave way to Nubian. Bechhaus-Gerst, however, postulates that the Meroitic script was used even after the end of the kingdom of Meroe. After the Egyptian hieroglyphics, the Meroitic writing system is the second-oldest in Africa, and it constitutes the first graphization of a local language (Bechhaus-Gerst 1996:28). It was in several ways superior to the Egyptian system. The people of Meroe reduced the multitude of hieroglyphic signs to 23 basic signs and created an alphabet. Again, unlike the Egyptian system, this alphabet also included vowel sounds, a great improvement over the hieroglyphic system, as well as a sign marking the division of words, an uncommon feature in ancient writing (Grzymski 1983:22f). One of the most striking things about the Meroitic script is the inclusion of a distinct set of traditionally termed ‘syllable’ signs. The widely used cursive version of which some 1278 texts are known was mainly used on stelae and ostraca5 while the hieroglyphic form was used monumentally (Rowan 2006:131)
