Sudan

The father came over and asked to have a photo of us together. He had been watching hiis sons, the twins, interact with me and was very proud of them.

I always use the words... "Friendship moves the world". This was one of those moments with the sons taking the photos of us with my camera and the Dad with his hand on my shoulder. Two strangers.. now friends.

I found out that the Father was in charge of taking care of this UNESCO site.

The first, and most significant, ruler buried here was the Pharaoh Taharqa of the 25th Dynasty. Naturally, his tomb, along with all of the others, was looted thousands of years ago

There have been 82 tombs discovered at Nuri so far with most, but not all, incorporating a pyramid. The last burial here is thought to have taken place around 310 BC:

A closeup of the red sandstone bricks that make up the majority of the structure of the pyramids.

Faces of young people in Sudan

To think that the kids in the US fight for clothes that have a name on it.

Some of the children here also have that lost look from the parents marrying their first cousins.
