\nTombs, steles, and lintels have just been unearthed by an international team led by researchers from the CNRS and Sorbonne Universit\u00e9 as part of the French Section of Sudan\u2019s Directorate of Antiquities, co-funded by the CNRS and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs.\u00a0\u00a0They represent one of the largest collections of Meroitic inscriptions, the oldest language of black Africa currently known.
\nThe necropolis of Sedeinga stretches across more than twenty-five hectares and is home to the vestiges of at least eighty brick pyramids and over a hundred tombs, dating from the kingdoms of Napata and Meroe (seventh century BCE\u2013fourth century CE). The research programs carried out since 2009\u00a0[3]\u00a0have focused on the chronology of the construction of this necropolis, which is difficult as there is very little remaining historical information on this civilization. The researchers have shown that most of the pyramids and tombs are buildings dating from the era of the Napata kingdom that were later adjusted by the Meroitics. These adjustments were thus made five centuries after the initial building on the site, which the Meroitics supplemented with new chapels built out of brick and sandstone blocks on the western side of the pyramids, and which were intended for the worship of the deceased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
