Fun Facts About Sudan
- Sudan has significantly more pyramids than Egypt. These 200 Nubian pyramids are distinct for their smaller size, steeper angles, and funerary chapels.
- Sudanese pyramids are unique because many were built for powerful queens, not just for kings (pharaohs) like in Egypt.
- Sudan is the world's leading source of gum Arabic, procuding about 75–80% of total supply. Extracted from acacia trees, this sticky sap is secretly in your soda, candy, inks and makeup.
- Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, is named for the Arabic word for "elephant's trunk" because the land strip between the Blue Nile and White Nile rivers looks like an elephant's trunk extending into the water.
