Sedeinga, Archaeological site near River Nile, Sudan.
The Sedeinga site stretches across twenty-five hectares along the western bank of the Nile River, featuring eighty brick pyramids and numerous tombs.
The necropolis contains structures from the kingdoms of Napata and Meroe, dating from the seventh century BCE through the fourth century CE.
The excavated artifacts represent extensive Meroitic texts, demonstrating the merger between Egyptian and Sub-Saharan African societies in ancient Nubia.
International research teams have conducted systematic excavations at the site since 2009, focusing on dating the structures and documenting discoveries.
A chapel lintel discovered in 2017 depicts the Egyptian goddess Maat with African physical characteristics, marking an early representation of cultural fusion.
