Sudan: Temple Graffiti Reveals Stories From Ancient Sudan

[The Conversation Africa] Today the northern region of Sudan that borders with Egypt is mostly desert. But this part of the Nile's valley was once home to a powerful African civilisation called Kush. It traded gold and the products of inner Africa to Egypt and the Mediterranean world beyond.
