abstract
  • The Sudan Temple was a Nubian pyramid located in the northern part of Sudan, at the base of some mountains next to a sandy desert. Located in a valley that was partially blocked from the desert were three pyramids arranged facing each other, with some smaller buildings in between them. Over time, the smaller buildings fell into ruins. Several of the stone faces of the mountains around the complex were carved into large ram's head reliefs. While the main entrance to the temple was found at the base of the pyramid on the desert floor, a back tunnel, with an entrance shaped like a human skull, connected from a canyon in the mountains to an ancient bridge that led to the back entrance of the temple. The temple and surrounding buildings were decorated with a ram's head motif. The interior of the temple utilized a set of oil reservoirs which could be used for lighting. The main chamber of the temple held the Ram's Head Bust on a central dais.
