Kerma Culture Burial (ca. 2050–1750 BC)

This reconstructed burial represents a typical Kerma culture grave from a cemetery in northern Sudan, dating to around 2050–1750 BC.

The deceased man is laid in a crouched position on his right side, with his head facing east and looking north. At his feet lie the remains of 𝘴𝘒𝘀𝘳π˜ͺ𝘧π˜ͺ𝘀𝘦π˜₯ sheep or goats, while pottery vessels and cuts of meat are placed nearby.

These ritual elements strongly suggest a belief in an afterlife, reflecting the spiritual and funerary customs of the Kerma people.
