The name Sudan was adopted by the nation in 1881 following the end of the Ottoman Empire. Ancient Sudan features in the range of the African continent’s old world powers as Egypt and Ethiopia. In terms of ancient settlements Tunisia boasts Cartago, Algeria has Timgad, but Sudan has the Meroe pyramids situated in the ancient Kingdom of Cush. Meroe will be saved for posterity as it has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO.
