Nhoroondo ipfupi ye "Nyika yeKush"
Vagari vekutanga kuchamhembe kweSudan vanodzoka makore mazana matatu ezviuru. Iyo imba kune yekare-kare yeSahara hushe hwemu Africa, humambo hweKush (ingangoita 300,000-2500 BC). Iyi tsika yakaburitsa zvimwe zvehari dzakanaka kwazvo mumupata weNairi, kusanganisira maKerma beaker.
Sudan yaishuwira hupfumi hwayo hwepamoyo kunyanya goridhe, ebony nenyanga dzenzou. Zvinhu zvakati wandei muunganidzwa weBritish Museum zvakagadzirwa nezvinhu izvi. VaIjipita vekare vakakwezvwa kumaodzanyemba vachitsvaga zviwanikwa izvi mukati meOld Kingdom (makore 2686-2181 BC), izvo zvaiwanzo kukonzera kukakavara sezvo vatongi veEjipitori neSudan vaida kudzora kutengeserana.

Guta reMeroë nemifananidzo isinganzwisisike yemufananidzo wehofori yakatakura nzou
Guta reMeroë rinozivikanwa nemipiramidhi inopfuura mazana maviri, mazhinji acho ari matongo. Ivo vane saizi yakasarudzika uye zvakaenzana zveNubian mapiramidhi.
Iyo saiti yeMeroë yakaunzwa kune ruzivo rweEuropean muna 1821 neFrance mineralogist Frédéric Cailliaud (1787-1869). Zvinhu zvinonyanya kufadza zvakawanikwa zvaive zvekusununguka uye pendi pamadziro emakamuri eguva. Mumwe wemifananidzo unoratidza hofori yakakura kwazvo yakatakura nzou mbiri.

Muna 79 AD, munyori wezvakaitika kare weRoma, Josephus Flavius akanyora kuti wekupedzisira murudzi rwevaRefaimu vekuIjipita vakararama muzana ramakore regumi nematatu BC, panguva yekutonga kwaMambo Joshua. Akaenderera mberi akanyora kuti vaive nemitumbi mikuru, uye zviso zvavo zvaive zvisina kufanana nevanhuwo zvavo zvekuti zvaishamisa kuzvitarisa, uye zvaityisa kuteerera kuzwi ravo riripamusoro raiita kunge kudzvova kweshumba.
Zvakare, mizhinji yemifananidzo yekumasvingo yeEgypt yekare inoratidza vavaki vePiramidhi se "Giant People" nehukuru hwemamita mashanu kusvika matanhatu pakureba. Sekureva kwenyanzvi, idzi hofori vanhu vakakwanisa kusimudza mana kusvika kumashanu matani emabhuroko pachavo. Mimwe yeiyo yekare mifananidzo yemifananidzo yakaratidza madzimambo makuru ichitonga Egypt yekare, nepo vamwe vairatidza vashoma-saizi vashandi pasi pevanhu hofori.
Muna 1988, Gregor Spoerri, muzvinabhizimusi weSwitzerland uye anoyemura zvikuru nhoroondo yeEgypt yekare, akasangana nechikwata chemakororo emakuva ekare kuburikidza nemumwe wevatengesi vega muEjipitori. Musangano uyu wakaitirwa mune imwe imba diki muBir Hooker, makiromita zana kuchamhembe kwakadziva kumabvazuva kweCairo, uko Spoerri akaona chigunwe chakakomberedzwa chakaputirwa mamvemve.
Chigunwe chaive chakaoma uye chakareruka. Sekureva kwaSpoerri, chisikwa chinoshamisa chazvaifanira kunge chaive nemamita mashanu (angangoita 5ft) pakukwirira. Kuti aratidze huchokwadi, mumwe mupambi weguva akaratidza mufananidzo weX-Ray yemunwe wakaomeswa wakatorwa muma16.48. Kuti uzive zvakawanda, verenga ino isu takaburitsa kare.
