In the north of SUDAN and along the Nile valley there was an ancient culture which was an extension to the Pharonic culture several hundred years BC. I was surprised to see Pyramids, Sculptures, Hieroglyphic writings and wall drawings still having the original true colours of paints used thousands of years ago. I have also seen a real mummy. I think that only few people know about this culture as the whole credit is given to the Pharonic culture in Egypt(Who doesn`t know about the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx?)
