Tomb of Tin Hinan, Ancient mausoleum in Abalessa, Algeria
The monumental tomb stands on a hill reaching 38 meters high, overlooking the junction of two wadis in the Hoggar Mountains region.
The structure was constructed over a Roman fortification during the fourth century AD and first excavated by Byron Khun de Prorok in 1925.
The tomb marks the burial site of Tin Hinan, a Tuareg queen whose remains were found with gold bracelets and silver jewelry.
The archaeological site sits 1550 kilometers south of Algiers and requires coordination with local guides for access through the Tamanrasset district.
Archaeologists discovered Tifinagh inscriptions on the wall stones and a wooden bed containing the queen's skeleton facing east.
