A hidden and largely unknown history is re-emerging. These Nubian pyramids in modern-day Sudan were built around the fourth century BC. They're much smaller than the Egyptian ones, but Sudan boasts nearly double the number. This was one of the main cities in the Kingdom of Kush and the pyramids served as tombs for kings and queens. Today, the site is largely deserted. But a new generation is helping to recover this history. And they are making it their own. Mohamed Elmur, tour guide I was surprised to see all of these things that literally nobody visited, that no one is taking care of them. This is an ancient history for our families. And the stories that I've heard from my family about this place - the stories of how these places were led by women, about how these places were great civilisations back in time. And I wanted to know more, how to take care of it, how to make the world know more about it. Mohammed made it his mission to get the Sudanese youth interested in their country's history.
