Hundreds of 4,000-year-old Mass Graves Found Hidden in the Sahara Desert

Julien Cooper et al./The Conversation
We have been on a years-long campaign of satellite remote sensing of the vast desert landscapes in Eastern Sudan.
This involved using satellite aerial imagery to systematically and painstakingly search for archaeological features in Atbai Desert of Eastern Sudan, a small part of the much larger Sahara.
Our team – which includes archaeologists from Macquarie University, France’s HiSoMA research unit, and the Polish Academy of Sciences – wanted to tell the story of this desert region between the Nile and the Red Sea, without having to excavate.
One mysterious archaeological feature stood out. We kept finding large, circular mass graves filled with the bones of people and animals, often carefully arranged around a key person at the center.
Likely built around the fourth and third millennia BC, all these “enclosure burial” monuments have a large round enclosure wall, some up to 80 meters in diameter, with humans and their cattle, sheep and goats buried inside.
Our new research, published in the journal African Archaeological Review, reveals how we found 260 previously unknown enclosure burials east of the Nile River, across almost 1,000km of desert.
