this is amenemhet story about his ascention to the throne, which is a read.

Second in line to his father Amenemhet is his son SesotrisI, he has expanded his kingdom to part of Syria, and all the way to the 3 cataracts into what is now Northern Sudan. As mentioned before the 12th dynasty or middle kingdom was definitely of Cush/Ta Seti. This is his pyramid even though it is very ruin, but it had many artifacts you might see in museums all over the world.

Eventhough, i am focusing on pyramids in both Misr and Cush, i had to show this temple of "Naga" in northern sudan, it was taken by a tourist, and the night background with the lights looks absolutely beautiful.

Pyramid of Amenemhet III

This mud-brick pyramid was originally covered in limestone. It is the burial place of the Middle Kingdom pharaoh Amenemhet III, who also built a pyramid at Dahshur. Hawara is an oasis in the Faiyum.

Pyramids of Taharqo at the pyramid complex in nuri northern sudan. He rule egypt, sudan all the way to the white nile and possibly ethiopia, also rule part of the middle east or the levantine area. He pyramid is nearly demolish, however i hear that his tomb which is underground is very well preserve and it is incredibly huge. here is the ruin pyramid of Taharqo with a well preserve tomb.

EvenThough, i disagree with this guy that presented his youtube videos about everything pertaining to sudanese history, this jewish connection have me somewhat curious. tell me what you think.

@ababda Some say the Ethiopian Jews are christian converts, but I think they are the descendants of Menelik?
We all know Jewish bloodlines are found all over the world.The Nigerian Jews are the most fascinating of all.

Really Madlady, I did not know nigeria has a native Jewish Population. I know in sudan, people with Isreali passports are not allowed in the country, obviously because of political reasons. I never knew nigerians had native jews. however, i keep on hearing from this forum that some igbos consider themselves of jewish origins. I thought that was mere myth, but do you think it is true?

@ababda,

Actually tried to post a vid on youtube on the JEWS OF NIGERIA, they are supposedly from the same strain that my Mother comes from, the SYRIAN strain.
That strain of Jews are the main Jews in Jamaica, even thou the Portuguese are almost the same branch.

I am not sure if the igbos are this same strain, I have heard so many conflicting talk so it's hard to work out. DNA would be the only way to go.

@adabda, You may want to check the the youtube vids, you will see the Nigerian Jews holding their Shabbat.

I did see the videos on youtube, it was very interesting, indeed. Madlady this question is kind of controversial in my part of the world, but i am going to ask it anyway, Do you think the people in the nile valley enslave the Jews? I want to hear you opinion about this issue, i am grappling with!

The pyramid of Senusret II : middle kingdom 12th dynasty.

This is not a pyramid complex, but it was perhaps a cultural center of the so called A or C group people that archeologically catorgorize as, however from the distance it look like a weird mountain but it was a temple. Needless to say this was the heartland of the Kingdom of Kerma, and the location is between the 3 and 4 cataracts in northern sudan. Also, here is the web site from archeologist that excavate this region.

The mud brick structure of temple is called a deffufa, which means red mound. Here is a diagram how the temple look like in the past.

sorry, here is the web site.

@adabda The question is not at all controversial to me , it may be to a Jew from Israel.
               Without a doubt the people of the Nile valley enslaved the Jews.

The pyramid of Meidum, this was builted by Huni, but latter finished by his precessor Khufu, this is the old kingdom pharaohs

The Step Pyramds of Saqqara. This pyramids was builted during old kingdom period under the pharaoh Djoser. what is interesting his chief architext was Imhopet. What is interesting about Imhotep is his life story is similar to the torah, bible or koranic story of the old testament Joseph. If he and Imhopet one of the same person, that would be interesting to say the least.

combination of the two pyramids of Saqqara, and dashur.
