Gala Abu Ahmed


Gala Abu Ahmed is a fortress ruin in lower Wadi Howar, northern Sudan. The facility is located west of the Nile. The fort was discovered in 1984 by archaeologists from the University of Cologne. It dates to the Napatan phase of the Kingdom of Kush. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the fortress was already in use around 1100 BC. The function of the building is still unclear.
