🎧 Listen to Introduction
Stretching over 60 km in the Nile Valley, these five archaeological sites bear witness to the Napatan culture (900-270 BC) and the Meroe culture (270 BC-350 AD) of the Second Kingdom of Kush. Tombs with and without pyramids, temples, residential complexes and palaces are found on the site. Since ancient times, the Gebel Barkal mountain has been closely associated with religious traditions and folklore. The largest temple is still considered a sacred place by the locals.
