Nubian pyramids in Sudan, 2016

The source provides the country and date but no monument numbers; none are inferred here. This historical photograph is not a statement about present access or conservation.

Meroitic amphora from Nubia

A two-handled Meroitic amphora in the Finnish Heritage Agency collection (KM17000:39:116:2), catalogued broadly to 300 BCE–400 CE. The record associates it with Nubia but lists both Egypt and Sudan, so no precise modern-country findspot is asserted here. The maker and photographic date are unrecorded. This is a museum object photograph, not a view of present-day Sudan.

Decorated Meroitic jar from Nubia

A Meroitic jar with a rounded base and comb-impressed decoration, held by the Finnish Heritage Agency (KM17000:39:119:3). Its catalogue gives a broad date of 300 BCE–400 CE and links it to Nubia, listing both Egypt and Sudan rather than a clear modern-country findspot. The maker and photographic date are unrecorded. This entry uses the actual object photograph, not the accompanying archaeological drawing.
