Sudan's pyramids

Because the situations in the countries that we focus on are so dire, we don't spend a lot of time considering much outside of the current situation and needs.  But it's also important to recognize the culture and history that came before all the of sadness and violence we see today.

For example:  Sudan has pyramids, and a lot of them. Over 200 as a matter of fact.  This article talks a bit about the pyramids and their history.  And this link will take you to beautiful photographs of the area by Andrew McConnell.
