Khartoum, KHARTOUM

Khartoum, KHARTOUM

Where the White and Blue Nile

Meet; will make you smile 

At Al-Mogran where two rivers swim as one 

A day for a pilgrim 

?? ??????????????????

 Today we are traveling to a tomb 

A womb for humanity 

Where Mahdi, the Islamic leader of the Sudan who fought in 1885 against General Gordon and English colonisation lived and died

The people cried 

Then on to Omdurman; the old capital city of Sudan

The color of man 

?? ??????????????????

From the city of Khartoum

There is abundant room 

To the vistas of the Nubian desert 

Down to Old Dongola

Coptic Christian temples in marble 

.....eyes marvel 

?? ??????????????????

Driving north to Soleb 

A temple supreme 

Hieroglyphic writing 

Your heart will stop fighting 

?? ??????????????????

Next to Sesibi

Great granite boulders 

The Third Cataract we face 

Guiding our way across the Nile

?? ??????????????????

Sebu; with your images on rocks 

These thousand years 

Onwards to the statue of the King Taharqa, you will see a creation 

3000 years ago in the desert of antiquity 

?? ??????????????

Traveling south to the ancient city of Karima, first settled in 2400BC 

Mud brick temples at Deffufas 

This soul now in rigamortis 

?? ??????????????

In the morning we travelled 

To the town of Karima 

Red sandstone mountain rain 

Pharaohs of the New Reign

Then on to the necropolis of the ancient capital, Napata

Images of pharoahs and gods Infinitum 

?? ??????????????

 For the night has come 

At the Royal Necropolis of Meroe 

Pyramids against a clear blue sky 

You may wonder of the Kings Gods, 

His life and why 

?? ??????????????

Bags, resting place final destination 

Musawwarat El Sufra - the Elephant and Lion Temples

On to Apedemak (1st century AD) sandstone building with walls engraved with images of kings and gods; of man 

This our time in Sudan
