Very cool stuff. I read about the Sudanese pharaohs in Natl Geographic years ago, and they keep popping up. I hope they're able to id the stone, as Sudanese pyramids look to be made of black stone locally obtainable

Was it about the 25th dynasty? They're one of the most interesting dynasties. They originated in the Nubian Kush, became Pharaohs through conquest and then managed to unify Lower and Upper Egypt and Ancient Egypt reached its largest territorial extension during their rule.

I was just looking at Sudanese pyramids on Google earth the other day! And clicking on people’s photos who visited them, they’re pretty amazing.
