Ancient Settlement in Sudan. New Kingdom settlement built from 1350 to 1334 BCE. Situated on Sai Island, 80km south of Amara, on the west bank of the Nile.

The town of Sesebi was founded during the 18th Dynasty reign of Akhenaten (1350-1334 BC) and is contained within its impressive town walls constructed from mud-brick, with buttresses at regular intervals, enclosing an area of about 270m by 200m. The site lies at the foot of Jebel Sese, a large outcrop of volcanic rock overlooking the Nile channel.

Sesebi
Sesebi submitted by Flickr : Temple Columns at Sesebi The temples and town of Sesebi were built early in the reign of Akhenaten and, oddly enough, expanded upon by Seti I (Amarna period temples were typically destroyed and used for raw building material rather than modified and reused by 19th dynasty kings).
