Kingdom Of Kush

JG-M-Q-069 – In addition to a limited excavation of the cemetery at the city, the Garstang’s also managed a trip to the royal cemetery at Meroë, apparently for sightseeing purposes. The pyramids had been partially demolished in the 1830s, when treasure-hunter Giuseppe Ferlini had used dynamite on them, in hopes of finding jewellery. Marie Garstang, John Garstang’s wife, can be seen here, posing on one of the pyramids in the royal cemetery, wearing a pith helmet and a knife (1911-1914).
