Archaeologists find ancient palace of the year
900 BC in central
Sudan. These findings help fill in the missing history for 1.5 millennia.
Excavation reveals
ancient city of Meroe, the capital of a centralized empire on the
Nile. The town is ruled by a dynasty of kings who manage this territory extends along 1.500 kilometers from south to Karthoum southern
Egypt. The kingdom is succeeding 2000 years ago and built a variety of luxury buildings, like the palace and many small pyramids.
Only a small building that can be cleaned from the barrow. Hidden beneath the old palace, found the oldest building Meroe City, which is estimated to have existed since the ninth century BC, or a century older than the palace on it.
Together the building was found animal bones. Krzysztof Grzymski, curator of the
Royal Ontario Museum,
Canada, suspect the bones were from goat and sheep grazing. He concludes this old civilization are half nomadic because not only rely on agriculture, but also animals shepherd.
Until now archaeologists have not been able to explain the function of old buildings under the palace. Provisional estimates, the predecessor of this building is the palace or administrative building.
Over the last 150 years, archaeologists have been scraping the soil of this old city and found many palaces. Along the way they created confusion because it appears as if civilization for granted.
"In the middle of Sudan, we found a
Stone Age civilization lived 3000 to
2500 BC. After that, there is no archaeological evidence to emerge this kingdom in the year
800 BC," said Grzymski.
