A mysterious ancient temple was just discovered in Africa

 A mysterious ancient temple was just discovered in Africa

We just don't have all the facts yet

“Based on the archaeological material collected so far, it is impossible to determine whether the inscribed blocks came from Old Dongola itself, or whether they had been brought here from another site and reused for construction purposes.

No other known similar sites in the area

“Either way, this is a surprising find,” Wiezorek said according to Szotek, “as the blocks came from a monumental stone building and there are no known sites with Egyptian architecture within a radius of more than a hundred kilometers from Old Dongola.”

The Kingdom of Kush

The Kingdom of Kush was thought to have come into existence in 1069 BCE according to the World History Encyclopedia and thrived until roughly 350 CE before it collapsed. 

No previous Egyptian settlement was known to be in this part of the Nile Valley

Wiezorek noted that there were previously no known instances of Egyptian centers that stretched into the portion of the Nile Valley where the Old Dongola blocks were found. 

Filling in an important gap

“I hope that our discovery will help fill this gap,” Wieczorek said, referencing his hope that the Polish team's discovery will rewrite the history of both Kushite and Egyptian culture.
