Fascinating!!! I heard that the pyramids were originally covered in some kind of blue stone covering or sheething. But these have been stolen. The Pyramids fascinate me. as Graham Hancock says, they never have found any evidence of them acutally being tombs. The blue sheathing makes me wonder if they could have been some form of space transmitter. WHY dont we know these things???!!!!! Giuseppe Ferlini From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ferlini raided the Meroe pyramids in 1834. Giuseppe Ferlini (1800–1870), of Bologna, Italy, was an Italian doctor turned explorer and treasure hunter who destroyed over 40 pyramids in a quest for treasure in the 1820s in Egypt and Sudan.[1] He served as surgeon in the Egyptian army, occupying Sudan. While the army stayed at Khartoum and Sennar, he went in 1834 to Meroë and destroyed many pyramids there and in Wad ban Naqa while searching for treasure. He found only one cache of gold. He tried to sell it to several European museums, but at this time nobody believed that such high quality jewellery could be made in Black Africa. His finds were finally sold, and remain at the museums in Munich and Berlin. The Sudanese do not fondly remember this infamous rogue treasure hunter. According to Dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux, Ferlini blew off the tops of many of the Meroë pyramids, marring the formerly pristine relics and making off with the artifacts. Of particular note was the leveling of Pyramid N 6 of the Kandake Amanishakheto.
